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.

      Hosting on your own hardware is much more fun though! In most cases it’s safer too, you don’t really need to worry about much as long as you dont portforward your ssh port & don’t run programs as root.

      I would say it’s cheaper as well, but that depends on how expensive the static ip lease is per month.

    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.
