VPS going down
The VPS I’ve been using for many years is shutting down. This means that acitivitypub.stigatle.no , yarn.stigatle.no is going down. I selfhosted these on the VPS.
I am looking into replacing things, I wanted to host things on my own domain using my own servers at home, I then looked into tailscale’s ‘funnel’ feature, that lets you expose a local machine to the internet, but as it turns out it’s not easy to get it to work with your own subdomain, this causes ssl issues (since tailscale makes ssl for the custom .ts domain - and when you point your own domain to that one it fails. And to fix this (it seems) like you need to have a VPS running that proxies the traffic from that url to your own etc - and I do not currently want to rent a vps again.
I’m a bit tired of hosting vps, setting things up, making sure it runs and all that. So now that the server goes down I’ll focus on other things.
I’ve been running snac2 for activitypub, it has been working great. I do however not spend much time there, same goes for the yarnd social media I ran. One of the things I’ll miss is the ‘police log’ bot I had - that reposted the local police log, I will probably move that over to telegram \ simplex.
I’m still on X - and will stay there for social media stuff.
But as always - if something new pops up on my radar I’ll look into it.
