We need some kind of subletting system. Package a stupid simple Raspberry Pi image with the minimal amount of configuration required for me to self host, and set up a fediverse based DNS and certificate authority. Make it stupid simple for a user like me to self host my traffic without needing to pay for a domain and sort out all of the requirements. Like I technically have money but don't control my finances and am heavily subsidized by family due to my situation and disability. I could probably set it up if I was super motivated but networking complexity is a rabbit hole that feels intentionally convoluted and a pain in the ass every time I mess with it. Locking down a Linux image with an immutable base and well configured PAM, SELinux, and automatic updating is equally daunting when a person has no experience or professional contacts familiar with the setup to ground one's understanding.
I don't see why we need to rely on the traditional internet infrastructure. We should be able to make something like fediverse.lemmy.user.j4k3 where we collectivise the address fediverse.lemmy, use it as a DNS server, and then distribute the traffic to individual servers.
I'm close with piefed. Their docker container can work on a pi 4 pretty easy. I had it on the pi and tried it on a big boy comp as well. Great performance on most servers.
Biggest issue is Lemmy.world just slammed the box and caused a huge issue in the queue.
Gotta set up your nginx juuust right
Yeah I need to get Cloudflare too :) Thats a good one, ill add it into nginx.
Appreciate your work! Piefed is my favorite fedi service. Even if half the time I am on world (just used to it).
