been using PikaPods for about a month now and it's pretty damn great. started using it for Navidrome (a streaming server for music you own, as an alternative to Spotify) but also deployed an instance of Linkding (bookmarks manager with tagging/search/unread markers) and FreshRSS (deceptively clean RSS reader with a lot of good stuff under the hood). no issues so far, and it was super easy, literally just setting some environment variables and clicking a button

I'm glad I got the baremetal VPN deployment experience from setting up GoToSocial, but one of the things that I learned from it is that I still do not want to be a server admin, lmao. I will gladly pay several bucks per month to avoid it, especially when those bucks are like, just 2 USD per service

if you want the minimum viable server admin instead, I use runtipi to have a similar one click experience for installing apps and basically do nothing with the server outside of automatic updates and updating runtipi about six months late for every update.

freshRSS is so underrated but I think some of that is the default theme looks very 2005

Holy shit, runtipi has GoToSocial! Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I love having options :D

And yeah, the first thing I did with FreshRSS was dig around for a more modern-looking theme LMAO. I respect the people who rock the retro look but it's too crunchy for my eyes

👍

and yeah it's such a great reader, and selfhosting/selfmanagement felt like the only option for both cross platform read/unread and not losing all my feeds if the site died, the two failure modes of every rss reader I tried
