Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I’m thinking about self-hosting my own Lemmy server and I probably have too many questions than answers. But maybe some simple ones… do server owners get to set the amount of days a post can be retained before it’s deleted or are there defaults baked into the software package?

Can server owners restrict image sizes or the number of images that can be uploaded?

Can a server owner restrict the creation of new communities? I’m curious how granular permissions can get.

Would I be better off hosting my own instance to get some of these questions answered? 😁

Thanks in advance!

Gotcha yea no I really appreciate the input. I may share a blog to help admins in-general with the CSAM problem, at least share some thoughts. My other job is in cybersecurity. Constantly dealing with bad actors.
