🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 101 (perseverance edition) 👷‍♀️​

Good morning Fedi friends!

I'm putting the finishing touches to a blog post about #PeerTube - from the POV of creators. I look forward to publishing it soon so I can devote the rest of the day to fixing my self-hosted Ghost blog issues.

Yes yes yes I know I keep going back-and-forth on this, so I apologize for the "flip-flopping" but I recently got an amazing shout out on a Fediverse podcast... but that shout-out mentioned my self-hosting woes so as I matter of pride I wanna fix them with code. I'm not done yet! I'm a fighter by nature.

I rebuilt my entire Ghost blog (33 posts and counting) from scratch TWO TIMES this year. After stepping away from the problem for 5 days, I'm ready to dive back in.

Disabling the Mastodon preview cards (for links) would fix all my problems but first I wanna see what happens when I tweak my NGINX config file.

I'm in the self-hosting game for the LONG HAUL! Undeterred, ready to learn. Let's do this.

(And THANK YOU FOR YOUR AMAZING SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT throughout all my stumbles).

Wishing you all a lovely Friday.

This has become a #YunoHost unofficial fan account. Look at all the apps they empower me to self-host!

For the record, I installed YunoHost on my VPS on December 17th, so it’s been less than 2 months. And I’ve already run (and survived) app updates.

Next week I get to meet the team in Paris - thrilled at the opportunity to thank them IRL 🤗
