Elena Rossini ⁂<p>Hello Fedi friends! This is a routine reminder that I've just migrated my Ghost blog to a self-hosted instance. </p><p>If you follow <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TheFutureIsFederated" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TheFutureIsFederated</span></a> via RSS, please update the feed's URL:</p><p><a href="https://news.elenarossini.com/rss/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">news.elenarossini.com/rss/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>And if you had bookmarked any of my old posts, they'll still work if you refresh the page... or else just swap "blog" with "news" in the address bar.</p><p>This is my proudest moment in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MySoCalledSudoLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MySoCalledSudoLife</span></a> as I installed everything with commands. I've learned so much these past 4 months!</p>

Elena Rossini ⁂<p>Good morning Fedi friends!</p><p>I had to delete the toot I published earlier because sharing a URL to my new self-hosted Ghost blog overwhelmed the server & took the whole site down (even with powerful caching in place).</p><p>This is apparently a common problem: <a href="https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/23662#event-12625986130" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i</span><span class="invisible">ssues/23662#event-12625986130</span></a></p><p>Anyway! I spent the past few months learning some basic coding & I was able to manually install Ghost, edit Nginx configs & do other dev magic. It's super empowering! 💪 </p><p>As they say: link in bio 😅 </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MySoCalledSudoLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MySoCalledSudoLife</span></a></p>
Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂<p>🏕️ my adventures in <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a> - day 100 (milestones edition) 🎊<br><br>Good morning Fedi friends!<br><br>Today I'm filled with gratitude as I think back about all the ways I have changed - and become more empowered - since I installed <span class="h-card"><a href="https://toot.aquilenet.fr/@yunohost" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>yunohost</span></a></span> on my VPS on December 17, 2024.<br><br>The biggest difference is my state of mind. For example, yesterday I started using <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/peertube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PeerTube</span></a>, after setting up an account on the instance MakerTube. I am enjoying it IMMENSELY. I uploaded a couple of my videos there but then immediately thought: I should set up my own instance!<br><br>If you had told me 4 months ago that one day I would be a couple of clicks away from setting up my own PeerTube, I would have thought you were hallucinating. But <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/yunohost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>YunoHost</span></a> has given me this power and confidence – for which I am infinitely grateful.<br><br>Since early February 2025 I have also gotten a bit of experience installing things on a separate VPS with command lines. Even if my self-hosted Ghost blog has given me lemons so far (Mastodon Hug of Death, you're to blame for this!) I am undeterred. I will try tweaking my NGINX settings next week, to set up a reverse proxy and increase my cache. Or heck, I could block Mastodon preview card requests and all my problems would go away. (If someone knows how to do that, please let me know!)<br><br>100 days of self-hosting, wow! I feel like a completely different person. Digital sovereignty rocks.<br><br>What are my goals for the next 100 days?<br><br>1) solving my self-hosted Ghost blog troubles<br>2) getting an education in caching, reverse proxies and the like<br>3) setting up my PeerTube instance<br><br>Thank you for encouraging me to go on this journey and for all your incredible advice and generous offers to help. This is truly the best community ❤️<br><br><a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/mysocalledsudolife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MySoCalledSudoLife</span></a> <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/yunohost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>YunoHost</span></a></p>
Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂<p>Good morning Fedi friends!<br><br>It's been 99 days since I started self-hosting my own Fediverse instances. Crazy how time flies!<br><br>I've been a bit absent from here this week because I started exploring the world of <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/peertube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PeerTube</span></a> from the POV of a creator.<br><br>I just set up my own account on <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/makertube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MakerTube</span></a> - so that I can write a guide that is accessible to many (as opposed to skipping this step and going straight to self-hosting).<br><br>Anyway, here is my PeerTube account: <a href="https://makertube.net/a/elena/video-channels" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://makertube.net/a/elena/video-channels</a><br><br>I have been able to follow it from <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> and <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/friendica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Friendica</span></a> without a problem, but I keep getting an error message when I try to subscribe with my <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GoToSocial</span></a> username. The exact message: "Cannot fetch information from this remote account." Does anybody have the same issue? (as in: people on GoToSocial, can you subscribe to PeerTube channels?)<br><br>Wishing you all a lovely day 🌞<br><br>P.S.: about to go offline for the rest of the day because... there's no pre-school in France on Wednesdays and the garderie keeps my little one up until 12:30. So apologies in advance if I'm slow to reply to messages.<br><br><a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/mysocalledsudolife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MySoCalledSudoLife</span></a><br><br></p>
