Blind selfhoster journey continues.
I just wanted to say, I could not imagine what it takes to do all of this without sight. When I think of some of my limitations that I gripe about, they pale in comparison. I may not understand exactly what it is you are doing, but the fact that you’re doing it is huge.
Respect!


Welcome to the club dude/Dudette. Come on, don’t tease us…whatcha runnin’? Glad to have you here and it’s good to meet you.
self hosting a lyrics site
I remember when people were going to court for publishing lyric sites. Wow! Weird times.


Ha! I commiserate with you. My eyes started to glaze over after a bit. Here are some notes that may help out. They have changed the site around several times so, things may not be exactly in the place as documented, so you might end up hunting around the site. But, this should get you down the road a piece. Additionally, I am running Ubuntu Jammy, so their may be slight differences, I’m not sure.

Now what
Congratulations on the new domain name! Now what? Well, first you don’t tell anyone here what it is. /s Since you are already with Cloudflare, why not go all out and set up Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust? Once you install Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust on the server, you no longer need to do all that port fiddling, NAT fiddling, none of that. If you decide to go the Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust route, I have some set up notes you might find beneficial. I’d be more than happy to share them. It isn’t that setting up Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust is hard, but it was a bit touch and go for me, but I got there, and wrote that shit down. LOL
@pmk@piefed.ca has some great advice about documentation. DO IT! Write everything down during deploy. After a successful deploy, distill your notes and clean them up. Make them a part of your 3,2,1 backup scheme.
If the free internet goes then so does society as we know it, and the obscure french film collections from the 80s isn’t gonna do anything for you in that new reality. It’s as if people think there’s gonna be some middle-ground where the internet is totally shut down and somehow life goes on as normal. You’d think priorities would shift a little away from media consumption towards “oh shit how do I learn how to filter my water”.
This has been my thinking for the very longest while. If/When the internet goes ‘somewhere’, commerce screeches to a halt, globally. We’re at a point where there is no going back to pen and paper. When commerce screeches to a halt, no one is going to be gunning for your NAS drive filled with movies. They will be gunning for whatever life sustaining resources you have to make theirs. You think people are crazy now…we’ve yet to plumb the depths of crazy.
That looks interesting.
