One of my favorite apps 👍🏻

Thanks for your great work

Doing the same, works fine and is easy to backup 😌

Great work! 👍🏻

I see your efforts in the last months. My test failed about 5 months ago, but I will give it another try with the bare metal setup in future.

Piefed is actually the only serious alternative to Lemmy in my opinion. Hope you find help with the container, it is the most used way to selfhost these days, wish you the best :)

Tried to setup it once bare metal, everything prepared, but only got an error on db init… flask db upgrade worked but flask init-db only threw cryptic errors…

The docs on join.piefed.social are very limited, they should refer to those on Codeberg. Codeberg docs were completely missing how to setup S3 storage. I just took a look, now it is in the docs. This is good 👍🏻

While I set up piefed, you read in the middle of the docs, that you need a second project for notifications at the time I tried to set this up.

Now you don’t need it anymore, as far as I read in the docs.

“Okay just use Docker…”

Multiple cronjobs for containers? Come on 😐 Lemmy is far easier to use in a container.

Maybe a take look at piefed again when there is a background manager instead of 4 cronjobs.

You needed to connect your Github account once, the app checked if you donated, then you got the supporter status

I got the supporter for free, because I donated to them before they joined FUTO. I donate frequently to opensource projects. This is a good way to say thanks to the devs 😊

Even small donations are fine, so please donate to projects you enjoy 👍🏻

Can not wait for final release, but why v10.11? Such big changes… V11 would be better imo 🤔

Anyway thanks to the devs for this great release

I moved to Outline, more functions, easier user management and public sharing imo

I tried docmost too, it has a cleaner look than Wiki.js, but SSO is enterprise only. That was a killer for me

I used Wiki.js for years, but it seems pretty dead. Sometimes after months there is a new release with just 1 or 2 bugfixes. Yeah I know… He is working on V3 with many new features (that other wikis already have) and so on. He is doing this for 4 or 5 years now.

People asked to help, to contribute or donate… He doesn’t want anything, he wants to develop on his own (you can read this in his Discord)

My opinion: stay away from Wiki.js and get a better one like Docmost, Bookstack or Outline.

Are they fucking kidding us? No more user management, no more sso, no more policies via UI… What the fuck? Changelog on Github says UI cleanup, but this is entirely a removal 🤬

I don’t like the CLI for MinIO

Will switch back to 2.0, I hope for a fork.

Never had problems with Hetzner 🤔

Glad you found a good VPS 👍

IONOS or Netcup or Hetzner

All of them are from germany, but provide various server locations

I use Netcup for cheap and powerful VPS (the ARM servers are awesome) and Hetzner for a dedicated server.

I rent the ARM VPS in Nürnberg, cheap and high performance. I don’t have any issues. Last time I had issues was with Contabo VPS. My main server is a dedicated one at Hetzner. Can recommend this one too.

A few people I know are using IONOS or Netcup for webhosting. They offer a lot more than just webhosting, if anyone needs a VPS, go for Netcup.

Maybe you can checkout European alternatives too to find what you are looking for 😊

Not directly, only if features get added or the API changes. The API will change woth v1.0 afaik

I read something about it in the blog entry

It does not need an update for every Lemmy version, but in the last ones were new features for admins and mods. Apps need to support them. It is good to hear, he is developing on a new version, I like Boost for Lemmy. It was just a long time since the last update.

As you said, it is hard to keep timelines if you are a single dev. But an update every quarter would be nice.

I am looking at the dates when installing an app. I would not install an app last updated a year ago. They seem dropped to me

There is enough to update, seems like it when I scroll through the Boost community (bugfixes, new features)… Last update mentioned Lemmy 0.19.4, now we have 0.19.10. With v1.0 there will be new features like OIDC.

Software is never “done”

Boost has one more point to update regularly: he earns money with it. If you don’t pay for it, you get ads. That’s okay, but by paying for an app I want regular updates. I bought Boost to support the development

I like regular updated software. Don’t know if it is still an active project

Currently I use Boost for Lemmy, I even bought it to support it. Sadly there was no update since last july 😐
