Easy to deal with mailing list server side software? One that comes with #OpalStack ?
This was on my to do list for today, but I failed.

Hey, my favorite* host has an instance! opalstack.social apparently exists. I'm here on c.im, but if I wasn't, I'd give Opalstack's instance a shot.
* as in, that's where my stuff is. For a decade it was on webfaction, and when that got a case of #enshittification I, like many others, followed the devs to opalstack. I don't have a broad knowledge of these things; opalstack works, isn't evil like godaddy, and has responsive, helpful tech folks when you have a probem.

I'm getting very tired of losing dozens of hours of my life getting #nextcloud to work about 3 times a year. More or less with every major upgrade.
This time I'm getting failed checks to sync my desktop app ("CSRF check failed"), along with sudden errors in the online web page that were resolved in past versions.
Wrinkle (always): shared hosting (#opalstack FTW) b/c I want my data stored offsite.
Returning errors:
1. Trusted_proxy incorrect. These were fine until the upgrade. Now I can't get anything to work (so far). It's not a warning, it's an error, in angry red.
2. memory limit not at least 512 MB. Except it is. It's set in the app's .user.ini file, which has no effect (this time, since upgrade).
3. set strict-transport-security... yes, that is set in .htaccess. No effect this time (worked fine before this upgrade)
About 4 more warnings that have lower priority. Basically, #sync stopped working, and that's a 100% bottleneck. Without sync of files, there's no point in having Nextcloud.
Ugh. I do not want to pay for Dropbox or whatever, but I might end up doing that; I seriously lose at least 30 hours a year on this, and there are many, many other things I'd rather do with that time.
I'll try to learn more, but if I have to basically take sysadmin classes to make Nextcloud work... no. I'll just pay for a commercial service.
*EDIT*: Thanks for the words, @pa
Note:
"Made Easy" - fuck, no"On premises or cloud" - good luck on shared hosting, sucker
"Regain control over your data" - If "control" means "it stays on my laptop and never syncs to my Nextcloud instance," then I guess this is accurate.

Don’t think it will matter to anyone already here, but @RSNStats is now on Opalstack.social. I’ve migrated all followers to this new instance.
I’ve long used #opalstack as my web host for RSNStats.com. They’re a great team with a solid product, fairly priced, and backed by stellar support. Not an ad, but I can’t recommend them more highly.
Anyhow, thanks for following #RedSox news and notes with @RSNStats, fans.

My personal #GoToSocial instance at https://solidarite.social seems to be running ok on a shared #OpalStack hosting after an hour of setup time with this guide: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/installation_guide/binary/
😁
Things left to do:
1. Create an admin user
2. Not using local storage; will have to decide what I want to use.
3. Register the executable as a service; I've ran it by hand tonight to test this out and I'm not sure my shared hosting will let me do that. We'll see.I'll stop the executable for now 👋

OK, I need my webserver to launch a python program that will run for a while and spit out a bunch of #SVG files. (I think this disqualifies it from being a #CGI file, alas?)
These SVG files use my favourite #font (Bravura" and need to be converted to paths for the font to render correctly. This is something #inkscape can do at the command line.
The font is NOT installed system wide because I don't have root on the machine.
I can put the font into my .fonts directory, but I am under the impression that the webserver runs things as nobody, which is probably better than running them as me.
I can make a new shell user and give them a .fonts directory.
I am on #OpalStack.
Does anyone have suggestions?
