Hello folks,

I got my static IP and I am very happy now, I have been hosting a lot of services since I got the static IP, however I still have to host a fediverse service however it’s not that easy to host any fediverse service, I tried to host GoToSocial but the devs said they don’t support Podman and my server is podman only ( I tried installing docker but it was failing for some reason so I gave up and used podman instead of docker).

these are the services I am currently hosting ( basically all the easy services which you can host with just “docker compose up -d” :p ):

feel free to suggest some other cool services which I can host :D

    I’d personally recommend that you instead get a VPS and then route traffic over Wireguard.

    You already appear to have a plan but it is something to keep in mind.

    meanwhile I’m on a dynamic ip that hasn’t changed in 18 months

      My local fiber provider doesn’t advertise static IPs but they haven’t changed my IP ever. I’ve been using them for going on 5 years

    I use syncthing for some of my “can-never-lose-these” files. syncthing synchronizes files between different devices. This is not an online-file-hosting thing like Google Drive or OneDrive. These files are physically present on all synchronized devices.

    My server is the “main” (you can make everyone equal) syncthing every other syncthing connects to. With an established connection, files will be synchronized on participating devices. AFAIK, syncthing is compatible with Windows, Android and Linux.

    This way, my important files are on my server, my smartphone, my PC and my laptop and every single one of these devices must simultaniously explode for me to lose my data. Also, it’s on docker hub

    pi-hole is another great one. Local adblocker for the whole network, just set it as your DNS server or let the DHCP server propagate this DNS server to your clients. This too is on docker hub

      Just make sure you make a backup from your syncthing clones, so an accidental delete/mess-up on one machine doesn’t wipe out every copy!

        Yeah, I do daily VM-backups which include all of the data on syncthing. No matter what you have, you always gotta have a good backup-strategy.

    To be honest, I used to have an ISP with dynamic addresses and it wasn’t a huge deal. The address only changed every month or two. I used afraid.org’s dynamic DNS service to get a dynamic address that followed the changes and created CNAME records for my real domain pointing at that. The actual connection was fucking awful but the dynamic IPs never caused any problems.

    As for services: Nextcloud is well worth looking into for file sync and photo backup, especially if you’ve already got a file server running.

    That’s cool OP. I have a business internet package with a static IP. I do a lot of large file transfers between clients and it does come in handy. I’ve yet to serve any public facing services tho. I’ve tried on numerous occasions to get invidious running consistently. It just seemed like I was having to tinker with it weekly just to keep the wheel spinning. I’m not sure what the issues were except maybe YT blocking IPs.

    Have fun OP, and be safe and secure with your new found powers.

    I have tons of great suggestions depending on your hardware and what kinds of things you’d like to be hosting.

    However, for starters, if you’re not doing so already, make sure you are binding your qBittorrent container to a privacy VPN network interface. Test it to ensure it’s working. There are sites out there that you can use to check how your torrent IP presents. No matter what you’re torrenting, keep your IP hidden. The last thing you want is your ISP to terminate your fancy new service.

      Handy but only for three domains. They massively jacked their prices a couple of years ago. Moved most of my devices to Wireguard on a VPS instead.
