microhive.social is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Have finally taken some time to read up on current VPN options in homelabs, as my involved hardware is no longer supported.
I have quite a few connections from my network to remote networks at family/friends for IT support (around 10). I connect from my pfSense via OpenVPN to OpenVPN server running on ASUS routers, flashed with Merlin firmware. The models are no longer supported, so am looking for alternatives.
Some of these ASUS routers function as a router plus the OpenVPN server, some routers just serve as an OpenVPN server.
Have checked Tailscale (with Headscale as I do not want to rely on 3rd parties)) and Netbird (apparently possible to selfhost).
In both setups every single device need to be configured separately and not all devices have native clients. Tailscale seems to have an option for "exit nodes" so the network where the device is in, is also reachable.

Am not convinced about such a setup with an orchestration server. The OpenVPN setup seems more straight forward to me (for my scenario).
I would need to replace the ASUS routers with other hardware (mini-pc or something) with Linux/OpenVPN, but other than that, it all works fine.
The only thing that would be better with Tailscale/Netbird, is that no port-forwarding is needed anymore.
I only have the requirement to connect to the remote networks, the remote networks must not be able to connect to mine.
Would appreciate your input/thoughts/experience. 🙏

Zum aktuellen Thema #Komoot – könnte für die Selbsthoster vielleicht interessant sein:
Ich habe es vor einer Weile mal aus Neugier installiert und etwas damit herumgespielt. Auf den ersten Blick ziemlich cool!
Wirklich „produktiv“ benutzt habe ich es bisher nicht, werde es jetzt aber mal als Alternative ausprobieren.

The 2 new nodes installed and shut down, so they can be build into the rack (cramped!).
No more vowels left, so will have to resort to emojis for future nodes.
Normally I do not post my nerd stuff on this account (for that I use @spiezmaestro), but this might be right up the alley of the mountain/outdoor community.: a self-hosted trail database for documenting your activities and sharing them in case you want).

Just installed #Endurain and imported my actvities that I had gotten by requesting my data archive at Strava. Around 90 fit-files were not able to bulk-import. 1290 files were successful. A shame that they are all getting imported with the description "Workout" and not how they were named at Strava. Probably this info is not in the fit-files. but am not sure.
First overall impression is good! @endurain has done a great job so far. 👌
