Happy new year dear Fedi friends! πβ
My first #MySoCalledSudoLife action of 2026 will be to install Monica β a #FOSS personal CRM system to keep track of friends and family (birthdays, anniversaries, last contact etc.) β on my server.
πβ: https://www.monicahq.com
I'm shuddering thinking about how much money I spent in my life on closed, proprietary products. Like, back in 2017-2018 I paid 159 dollars A YEAR for a similar tool... now on my little server for 4 Euros a month I can host Monica, Matomo and other useful software.
I hope this is the year that self-hosting grows in popularity.
Thank you for all your support and encouragement! And I look forward to learning more new things from you :)

@elena You're in? Which self-hosting provider? Hostinger? Contabo? Others? I'm planning to cut off NowTV Cinema to invest on self host. Then, my main doubt is on storing audio files. I have a castopod instance in mind as well.

@elettrona @elena i haven't used castopod but looking at the documentation just about any hosting provider will work, vps or shared. the only thing you really need to pay attention to is the disk space you get and your traffic allowance

@elena Just noticed the Monica last commit is from two years ago. Is that correct?

@d1re_w0lf ouf maybe. the install failed (multiple times) πβ first time it ever happened with YunoHost and I'm glad the first software I ever installed was GoToSocial, which is a real gem and maintained and improved on a regular basis

@elettrona I'm using Hetzner for this second YunoHost installation... I'm a little afraid of costs and I need to see if they will exceed the 4β¬/month I set. With Hostinger I didn't have that problem...

@mensrea @elettrona I have never done a podcast (but plan to this year) and my biggest recommendation as a filmmaker is to focus on great audio compression... so that file sizes stay manageable (I do the same with my videos)

@d1re_w0lf oh it happens... it's part of the journey. Now on to try Matomo and hoping this one will work π β

@d1re_w0lf the error logs show that essential packages are missing... so strange. Had the same failure with Matomo but now I need to have lunch with the fam... will try again later or Monday at the latest
