#uptimekuma — Public Fediverse posts

Managed to install #UptimeKuma this weekend. So far, so good.

@Codebender_Cate Take it one step at a time. For me it was starting with pictures. I installed Immich and moved my family off of Google/Apple for image sync. Then files was next for me, so I selected NextCloud. Then see what you have left going to big tech, rinse and repeat.

Also, I highly recommend an AI programming assistant like Claude Code or OpenAI Codex. It can greatly improve your IT abilities! In the last few months I have setup #Immich, #NextCloud, #Netbird, #UptimeKuma, #ForgeJo, #Authentik, #Pihole, #Beszel, #ActualBudget, #OpenWebUI, #Nfty, and #Tautulli.

"Un año de Self-hosting"
📝https://mindeka.es/2026/01/08/un-ano-de-self-hosting/

Ha pasado ya un año desde que comencé en serio con utilizar servicios autoalojados en vez de servicios de diferentes proveedores. He creado este artículo para decir que es posible siempre que sea paso a paso y de manera paulatina. Además de me sirve personalmente para saber dónde estoy y los próximos pasos de a dónde quiero llegar.

I'm curious to hear what others are #SelfHosting! Here's my current setup:

Hardware & OS

• Hardware: #RaspberryPi500 (8 GB RAM, 512 GB SD card) #RPi #RPi500 #SingleBoardComputers #HomeLab
• OS: #Stormux, an accessible #Linux distro based on #ArchLinuxARM #LinuxAccessibility #AccessibleTech

Infrastructure & Networking

• Dashboard: #Glance (#Docker) #DockerApps
• Reverse Proxy: #Caddy
• DNS: #Cloudflare
• Domain Registrar: #Porkbun
• Networking & Remote Access: #Tailscale (non-Docker), love its SSH agent and magic DNS features. #NetworkSecurity

Security & Monitoring

• Ad Blocking: #AdGuardHome (non-Docker). Previously used PiHole but find AdGuardHome slightly faster. #PrivacyTools
• Server Monitoring: #Beszel (non-Docker). Tried Grafana/Prometheus/Alertmanager (accessible but overkill) and Netdata (poor screen reader accessibility). Beszel isn't perfect but best compromise so far. #ServerMonitoring
• Server Overview: #Cockpit (non-Docker)
• Security Tools: #Fail2ban, #FirewallD, #ClamAV, and #Rkhunter (non-Docker). Tried CrowdSec but couldn't get it working on Stormux. #CyberSecurity
• Service Uptime Monitoring: #UptimeKuma (Docker), accessible and easy to use. #MonitoringTools

Authentication & Identity Management

• Authelia (Docker): Just set this up for two-factor authentication and single sign-on. Seems to be working well so far!
  
• LLDAP (Docker): Lightweight LDAP server for managing authentication. Also seems to be working pretty well!
  #AuthenticationTools #IdentityManagement

Productivity & Personal Tools

• Docker Management: #Dockge (Docker). More accessible than Portainer; main issue is built-in terminal isn't readable with screen readers. #DockerCompose
• Docker Logs Viewer: #Dozzle (Docker), great web interface and easy searching.
• Git Hosting: #Forgejo (non-Docker), my personal Git server. #GitServer
• Backups: #IDrive (non-Docker), backs up all my devices easily. #BackupSolutions
• Notes: #Joplin server (Docker). Accessibility improving; love the VSCode extension. #NoteTakingApps
• Bookmarks: #Linkding (Docker). Accessible bookmark manager with good browser extension support. #BookmarkManager
• Recipes: #Mealie (Docker), starting to learn cooking! 🍳📖  #CookingApps
• RSS Feeds: #Miniflux (non-Docker), excellent accessibility. Originally wanted better podcast support but other options had major accessibility issues. #RSSReader
• Automation & Workflows: #N8N (Docker). Haven't explored deeply yet—open to ideas! #AutomationTools #WorkflowAutomation
• Pastebin Service: #PrivateBin (non-Docker). Considering alternatives or CLI tool for easier console access. #PastebinAlternative
• File Sharing & Editing: #Samba (non-Docker), easy file management from my Windows 11 mini PC. #FileSharing #Windows11
• Search Engine: #SearXNG (non-Docker), accessible and searches multiple engines at once. #PrivacySearchEngine
• IRC Client: #TheLounge (non-Docker). Some accessibility issues but best I've found so far for always-connected IRC. #IRCClient
• Read Later Service: #Wallabag (Docker). Biggest issue is Wallabagger Chrome extension doesn't work for me yet. #ReadItLater

Notifications & Development Workflow

• Notifications via: #Ntfy (Docker) and Zoho's ZeptoMail (#Zoho)
• Development Environment: Mostly using VSCode connected to my server via Remote-SSH extension. #VSCodeRemote

Accessibility Focus ♿️🖥️

Accessibility heavily influences my choices—I use a screen reader full-time (#ScreenReader), so I prioritize services usable without sight (#InclusiveDesign, #DigitalAccessibility). Always open to discussing accessibility experiences or recommendations!

I've also experimented with:

• Ollama (#Ollama): Not enough RAM on my Pi.
• Habit trackers like Beaver Habit Tracker (#HabitTracking): Accessibility issues made it unusable for me.

I don't really have a media collection, so no Plex or Jellyfin here (#MediaServer)—but I'm always open to suggestions! I've gotten a bit addicted to exploring new self-hosted services! 😄

What's your setup like? Any cool services you'd recommend I try?

I usually use UptimeRobot (https://uptimerobot.com/) to monitor my stuff, but I had to install Uptime Kuma (https://uptime.kuma.pet/) to troubleshoot something for the boss.

It looks interesting.
