Installing Pixelfed with Docker Compose

Quick notes on installing Pixelfed using Docker Compose
I wish it were just so simple to selhost Pixelfed. This post actually refers to the zknt’s Docker image, which hope to make the process simpler. I still have to try this out, though.

Elk: A nimble Mastodon web client

In order to host Elk yourself you can use the provided Dockerfile to build a container with elk. Be aware, that Elk only loads properly if the connection is done via SSL/TLS. The Docker container itself does not provide any SSL/TLS handling. You’ll have to add this bit yourself. One could put Elk behind popular reverse proxies with SSL Handling like Traefik, NGINX etc.

An alternative to Phanpy, which also works with GoToSocial instances. At least this looks more robust than Phanpy. Gotta deploy one soon.

Edit: Wasn’t able to deploy successfully. Sad.

Fediverse Explorer

Browse most recent public posts across the fediverse by hashtag.

This is a great project. Lots of posts I’ve discovered from using this hashtag search. I know the source is on Github, but I wish this is easily selfhostable complete with Docker and compose documentation.

See Github page and blog post.

Media Caching - GoToSocial Documentation

GoToSocial uses the configured storage backend in order to store media (images, videos, etc) uploaded to the instance by local users, as well as to cache media attached to posts and profiles federated in from remote instances.

GoToSocial total storage space usage currently stands at 3.9GB. If this gets out of hand, I may need to add in the environment variable of the compose.yml file:

GTS_MEDIA_REMOTE_CACHE_DAYS: 2

Paperless AI

An automated document analyzer for Paperless-ngx using OpenAI API and Ollama (Mistral, llama, phi 3, gemma 2) to automatically analyze and tag your documents.

See post on Reddit.

If only this could help minimize Paperless’ memory (RAM) usage.

Bitwarden/Vaultwarden - Finally with SSH keys (and agent)

Bitwarden, and by extension Vaultwarden, is finally receiving support for managing SSH keys AND authenticating via a built-in SSH agent!
Gotta revisit my Vaultwarden installation. This, and the 2FA feature of Vaultwarden, a paid feature in Bitwarden, are enough reasons to maintain a working Vaultwarden container.

Lurker - a selfhostable read-only Reddit client

It is better than old-reddit because it renders well on mobile, it respects prefers-color-scheme, no account necessary to subscribe to subreddits, and no account necessary for over-18 content
