Activity Pods is supposed to allow you to have one account across the fediverse and it's still in early dev. I do see that they have some docker images, but there's no descriptions on what they're for and their instructions involve running make scripts to get running.

I can do that inside of a docker container, but running TrueNas I'm limited to running those, which is fine, I can do that, but the other thing that seems a bit confusing is that it looks like they want you to define "shapes" for different services to communicate with.

It might just look more complicated than it is. Has anyone successfully gotten up and running with it?

And I'm making everyone go to my gotosocial post because the server is running, so I'm going to use it!

I have a gl-inet router on which I have an nginx config to send traffic to Nginx Proxy Manager and DDNS with cloudflare.

I'm trying to get some kind of local dns set up so that if I'm on the local network, traffic stays within the network. The problem that I'm running in to is SSL certificates. NPM (on the server) is handling those and I thought that what I could do is go into the AdGuard Home (on the gl-inet router) config and add a dns rewrite to point to the router and traffic would flow as it normally does.

This DOES work, technically. traceroute shows only one hop for any of my subdomains, ie files.mydomain.com.

But I cannot actually get access in a browser because the ssl certificates are not set up.

It seems like options are: manually copy certificates from the server to the router (not ideal), or don't do it at all. I notice that if I go to the service by ip address, it'll change the address to the domain name. Eg going to 192.168.8.111:30027 -> files.mydomain.com.

I've been getting into self hosting, the fediverse, and federated blogging. I contacted freaking nomads and they suggested that I write about my experiences, so here it is! I hope you enjoy.

Comments aren't fully federated from the blog site, so I'm using mastodon as well.

I'm starting to get in to self hosting and am looking at self-hosted blog solutions. It looks like WriteFreely is the main fediverse blog platform, with Plume as second though I don't see it used much.

But that got me thinking that it'd be good to follow federated blogs and have some long form reading that I follow, like we did back when RSS was the main way of doing things.

But how do I actually find bloggers? It looks like WriteFreely can federate with Mastodon, but it doesn't look like there's a federated blogging platform like lemmy or mastodon. Is this correct? Where I can I go (other than Medium) to find blogs and bloggers in the fediverse?

I previously posted about an issue where the nginx container for the Collabora application logs a GET to /robots.txt every 10 seconds. I tried modifying the files in the container, but they were reset on restart. I also tried to run the container with --log-driver=none, but was unsuccessful. Despite being a software dev, I'm new to the homelab world and trunas.

I solved it by changing the docker image and then committing those changes. The change I made was to set access_log off; in the nginx config. I did it at the server root because I don't really care about those logs for this app, but it could be done on the location level.

Here's how I did it: Here's the reference SO post that I used: https://stackoverflow.com/a/74515438

What I did was I shelled into the image:

• sudo docker exec -it ix-collabora-nginx-1 bash
• apt update && apt install vim
• vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and add the access_log off;
  • if you're not familiar with vim, arrow key to the line you wan

I'm running TruNas Scale with a docker image for NextCloud and Collabora. Under Collabora, the nginx application is logging a GET to robots.txt about every second and I'm having a hard time filtering this out because it looks like the conf files for nginx get replaced on every restart. I also tried mounting my own version of the nginx.conf file, but that didn't reflect any changes.

I don't know if it's because I've been watching Factorio on YouTube or not, because I have not been searching for peanut butter. But anyway, so that's how you do it.

Big Tech killed the news. 2.5 newspapers closed each week on average in 2023. And 500 journalists were laid off in January alone. It's because the tech giants are siphoning billions of dollars in ad revenue. Now the DOJ is finally taking them on.
