@ov congrats! good for you!

#Docker for me is great. I just don’t understand why someone else would have a differing OPINION (in all caps!)?

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

@dumpsterqueer I’m sure there’s a real need for a small Mastodon-like instance.

@futzle in my compose.yml file I have this:

services:
  gotosocial:
    image: superseriousbusiness/gotosocial:latest
    container_name: gotosocial
    user: 1000:1000

I hope the user line makes it run as non-root user?

@ov that’s a comprehensive guide! Me, I prefer everything via Docker, though. I’m just wondering how big right now is your #GotoSocial installation?

#GotoSocial installation storage check: 3.7GB.

I get why #PDFDing was inspired by #LinkDing. Now I wish there were Linkding-style app for code snippets and note-taking. Just a simple dark-themed interface backed by just SQLite for the database. #Selfhosting
