@kbin.socialHey!
Im the founder of Formbricks (here is our repo) and we'd love to make self-hosting as EASY as possible!
We're providing a Docker image and are now looking into One Click Hosting for Railway, DigitalOcean, etc.
What is important for you to make self-hosting seamless?
Which platforms do you want us to offer OneClick Hosting for?
Thanks for your insights!
Johannes

I'm considering getting back to self-hosting again, but I remember a problem I never quite figured out.
My first services were a gemini server and lighttpd server and these were easy to set up, very satisfying and continue to work well for years. I also have FreshRSS and Calibre-web running well here.
But as I try to add more, sometimes instructions would include apache settings that clashed with the apache settings for something else. The instructions assume I don't already have apache installed and can just apply any settings I want.
Another issue, the new service might take over the domain, becoming the default service for the domain. I'm assuming that this is a port issue but I don't know.
Then there were docker containers. Some used docker compose while some did not.
One that I just couldn't get working was Nextcloud, which I wanted to host surveys from. They won't answer my support questions on their community hub unless I set up SSL though (which I don't plan on doing).
Does anyone have general advice on these issues? If it's just part of the difficulty of self-hosting, then maybe it's not for me. Too much time and energy was getting spent on it.
Thanks!
Yesterday I followed the docker guide for setting up a new KBin instance. Some parts of it are working, but it seems like it's not federating properly.
What does work:
What does not work:
kbin:user:create
command, I cannot create any other users with it.Any ideas on where I can look to resolve this?
This reported issue sounds a lot like my situation: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/73

I want to self host my own kbin instance. But dream host (my current host) doesn't let me do postgresql unless I get a dedicated server (very expensive). And I don't want to put it on my home machine because I want professional hosting.
So what are my other options? And what are you all doing? Are there preferred hosts?
I have a PC I have installed Portainer on, with various docker services (home assistant, jellyfin, etc..) with an ISP supplied router fixing various device IP addresses and reaching out to dyndns.
I really want to move everything over to HTTPS connections by supplying certificates, tls termination, etc .
The issue I have is self signed certificates mean I have to manage certificate deployment to everything in the house.
I figure I need to link a domain to the DynDNS entry and arrange certs for the domain. However I can't make the link function and everywhere wants >£100 to generate a certificate.
How are people solving this issue?

Hey self-hosted community! I thought I'd pose this question to you all as you seem to have a lot of experience with hosting things on limited budgets with usually a single person administering!
I am volunteering with a small rural news organization that operates in my home country. They do rural news for people living in villages and they give people (particularly women) in these villages the opportunity to be reporters. It is a really cool organization that empowers people in these villages through journalism. When they hire a reporter they give them an android-based smartphone and a handheld microphone. The reporters will shoot selfie-style reports, interviews and b-roll in the field and then file the video back to the main office where the videos can be edited. Currently they use whatsapp and signal which has worked decently well but both platforms compress the video a lot so the quality is degraded by the time it is received.
What they need is an easy way to transfer the original video files (usually mp4 h264) over spotty rural cellular networks.
Do you all have any recommendations for protocols or platforms to use? This is an organization with a very limited budget. I was thinking some kind of SFTP server that I could maintain remotely but I do not know if the clients are very robust against network dropouts and also are they easy enough for someone who has grown up in a rural village to learn. I have some IT skills but never tried anything like this.
A secondary issue they have brought up is when the field reporters do file their video in, it is increasingly difficult over time to keep everything organized. The filenames will be something like YYYYMMDD_XXXX.mp4 and the editor has to do a lot of work to organize and rename the files. I know there are MAM (Media asset management) softwares out there but from cursory googling it seems like a lot of the solutions out there are really built for large organizations that can pay a lot of money for the hardware/software. Is there any software that could automatically file away these videos possibly based on who is sending them or maybe the if the metadata has location data in it?
Any advice would be welcome!
