I was exited to read about the recent surge of brute force attempts I received from IPs my fail2ban has not previously seen, but this is just a generic piece from 6 months ago :(
Thank you for the link. I’ve seen it posted a few days ago.
The caching proxy for this tutorial should easily work with any tile server, including self-hosted. However, I’m not sure what the benefits would be if you are already self-hosting a tile server.
Lastly, the self-hosting documentation for OpenFreeMap mentions a 300GB of storage + 4GB of RAM requirement just for serving the tiles, which is still more than I can spare
I can recommend some stuff I’ve been using myself :
- Dolibarr as an ERP + CRM : requires some work to configure initially. As most (if not all) features are disabled by default, it requires enabling them based on what you need. It also has a marketplace with a bunch of modules you can buy
- Gitea to manage codebases for customer projects. It can also do CI but I’ve not looked into it yet
- Prometheus and its ecosystem (mostly promtail and grafana) for monitoring and alerting
- docker mail server : makes it quite easy to self host a full mail server. The guides in their doc made it painless for me to configure dmarc/SPF/other stuff that make e-mail notoriously hard to host
- Cal.com as a self hostable alternative to calendly
- Authentik for single sign-on and centralized permission management
- plausible for lightweight analytics
- a mix of wireguard, iptables and nginx to basically achieve the same as cloudflare proxying and tunnels
I design, deploy and maintain such infrastructures for my own customers, so feel free to DM me with more details about your business if you need help with this
I did not read the link, but two of my biggest concerns do not appear in the summary you provided :
- the burden of hosting an ActivityPub enabled service is often duplicated for each instance instead of being split between them (for example, my Lemmy instance has a large picture folder and database because it is replicating all posts from communities I’m subscribed to)
- it’s a privacy nightmare. All instance admins now have as much spying power as the single centralized service it is replacing
(Edit: typo)
Are you talking about Nginx Plus ? It seems to be a commercial product built on top of Nginx
According to the Wikipedia article, “Nginx is free and open-source software, released under the terms of the 2-clause BSD license”
Do you have any source about it going proprietary ?
There have been some changes in a few recent releases related to the concerns I raised :
- the default tile provider is now hosted by the Immich’s team using protomaps (still uses vloudflare though)
- a new onboarding step providing the option to disable the map feature and clarifying the implications of leaving it enabled has been added
- the documentation has been updated to clarify how to change the map provider, and includes this guide as a community guide
