Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #pikapods, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Looks like #Pikapods has a new #Todoist alternative, #Vikunja. Have been wanting a self-hosted task manager for ages, might check it out.

    Although I have moved a lot of my stuff off of Pikapods to my own VPS or home server, I still like being able to try things easily via Pikapods without the struggle of initial setup.

  2. I don't know if it's a #selfhosting #IT topic or a #psy #OCD #burnout topic.
    I don't know if it's a call for help or if I just need to dump this here.

    First, I'm very glad that I could totally leave the #GAFAMs! Yes, they make your digital life apparently easier, but the price to pay is IMHO far, far too high. I despise them!

    My #selfhost setup is driving me nuts: #VPN, online services, I can't decide if I'm happy with my #Synology #NAS hosting (backed up on SYnology C2), if I need a #VPS (my attempts showed that maintenance is high) or an assisted hosting service (like #PikaPods which sounds great). Availability of online services would be higher.

  8. ✅ Closed my #HelpScout account
    ✅ Removed HS from my privacy policy

    And that means my migration to semi-self-hosted #FreeScout (EU, #PikaPods) is now done! 🎉 AMA

  9. Pocket is dead and in the next few days they will be delete forever. So I wrote my Django app for this (my personal Pocket) but if you are note a coder or you don’t want to support this code you can use other software.

    I suggest Shiori (github.com/go-shiori/shiori ) with PikaPods (pikapods.com/ ) as hosting.

    This is not sponsored by anyone but a real dev who had a problem and fixs it

  10. Is anyone here using #PikaPods? I just noticed they're offering both hosted #Discourse and #FreeScout, and I was wondering how well they work.

  11. #TIL about #PikAPods;

    "Instant Open Source App Hosting
    Run the finest Open Source web apps from just $1.20/month."

    pikapods.com/

    I can't endorse this company's services without at least trying them, so keep your grain of salt handy. But I like the concept.

  12. @maique I'm guessing I'll be able to import my last saved #WordPress blog into pika. Yes? 🤔

    Will it let me export and keep my blog if I choose to later* move to a regular* webhost?

    I didn't see the size limit per app. The pika website doesn't spell out what they mean by "minimum required resources", and what it'll cost extra later if I go beyond the limit. 😕

    Hey @mastohost 👋 if I use my domain with #PikaPods, it won't affect my masto.evelynyap.com, will it?

  13. @mpmilestogo @maique
    Woh 😲 What is this #PikaPods thingy?

    Help me understand...

    Does it basically work like #webhosting except that it's per #app? Like only #WordPress and no other installations?

    I still haven't fixed my #website. 😅 So I haven't done any posting there for a couple of years now. Maybe this pika thing suits me better. 🤔

    But will I still be able to use my #domain with an #email service?
