I’m trying to selfhost some Lemmy communities just for fun :)
Buddhist, researcher, FOSS, Linux, selfhosting enthusiast, plantbased, anarchism and MLM interested.
Trying to be nice. I really dislike the Reddit style aggressive comments. If you are rude I will block and ban you.

You just made me look up! Lol
Thanks!
Here’s the setup I followed. It seems like it might take away some manual work for you: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha8NIAOsNvo&t=1294s&pp=ygUIRmFpbDJiYW4%3D
I’ve been meaning to learn how to make my own
Thanks :)
It’s definitely not legal, especially if your school is funded by the public. That “free internet and power” is paid by someone, and if it’s the public, it’s kind of a dick move.
This is assuming a lot and I think incorrect. I use the power and internet everyday as part of my job. Doing research and that which is related falls under that. And no it’s not funded by the public… but your point is well taken!
Thanks for sharing info on ssh. That’s helpful. If I’m sshing via Tailscale I wonder what IP they see? The Tailscale 100. one?
Thanks for sharing your experience!
That’s a great point, that is exactly the point, haha. The public sites are related to the library and my research so it seems that would be allowed.
Yeah… that definitely would be too far. I’m even careful what I backup (no torrents only work) to my school machine over rsync ssh just to follow the rules.
What was the most ridiculous or funny boundary push you saw?
Does adding 127.0.0.1 make it so only that server can access it or what? I’ve seen that but not understand
because discussing such projects in self hosting is fun and why we are here. I wanted to hear what others thought. Ie we are in a forum.
I searched and searched about this and every response of theirs I found gave the same speech about IMAP not being as safe as their apps.
How has that been going?
Yes, already have. It seems they don’t care.
Well, I am asking also security wise. I know most schools snoop. Can they somehow see traffic through ssh or VPN? Or just the protocols, logs, dates, etc
It is my own device, but yes utilities and security is their own.
I have a server in my school office. I currently only use it to backup important files. I am asking if running public or private containers on it would be safe and acceptable.
Great point about IoT
My understanding is that scrappers check every domain and subdomain. You’re making it harder but not impossible. Everything gets scrapped
It would be better if you also did IP whitelisting, rate limiting to prevent bots, bot detection via cloudflare or something similar, etc.
I was auto banning all countries but my own but now I’m hosting one resource that has an audience including Chinese…
Good advice outside of this use case! :)
But how would I backup everything from an iPhone? I got photos and contacts down. Idk about the rest. Maybe you’ve given me a new project.
