Anybody ever had problems with an #iphone and #IMAP on a #selfhosted #email server? Feel free to boost for fun.

I was just helping my wife and her mail app (iPhone 13, iOS 18.3.2) would just spin saying “connecting”. I’m standing next to her, with my iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18.3.2 and I’m on the same WiFi checking email on the same server just fine.

I tried a bunch of things. Rebooting, using cellular data instead of WiFi, closing the mail app and opening it again. Nothing fixed it. The root cause seems to have been low power mode. Her battery was low; so the phone was in low power mode. I plugged it in, took it out of low power mode, and poof! Mail connects just fine.

This is reproducible. If I go to low power mode and pull down on the screen to try to fetch, no imap. It just spins saying “connecting.” Come out of low power mode, imap is fine and fast. One thing we both do that is not the default is fetch email. The default is to push, and the phone polls quite often. I figure that’s a waste of battery, so we have ours set to fetch every 30 minutes. I’m a bit of a nut, so there are probably LOTS of other things that are not the default.

Anybody have any ideas?

I’m sure all of us have used low power mode before, and I’m fairly sure I’ve checked email under low power mode. I’ve never seen this before. #selfhosting

#Introduction
Привет всем! Меня зовут Николай, или же 22LR и еще под никнеймом Nitrous, и я решил немного рассказать о себе.
Мои увлечения — это настоящая смесь адреналина, творчества и технологий:
Руфинг — люблю исследовать город с высоты, делать крутые фотографии с крыш и наслаждаться видами, которые недоступны большинству.
Фотографии с крыш — стараюсь запечатлеть моменты, которые передают дух города и его атмосферу.
Побеги от охраны — иногда приходится включать режим "паркур" и спасаться от охраны, чтобы сохранить свои приключения в тайне.
Geometry Dash — обожаю эту игру, она помогает расслабиться и прокачать реакцию.
Selfhosting — изучаю, как хостить свои проекты и сервисы, чтобы быть независимым от сторонних платформ.
Wardriving — иногда занимаюсь исследованием Wi-Fi сетей, чтобы лучше понимать, как устроены технологии вокруг нас.

Я всегда открыт для общения, новых знакомств и обмена опытом. Если у вас есть схожие интересы или просто хотите поболтать — пишите!

I have a mini Intel Atom-powered home server in my house.

However, I’ve overlooked two things:

How do I back up data and keep it safe (from both security and quality perspectives)?

I’m still a newbie at GnuPG Privacy Guard. How do I secure the backup of my private keys?

There has to be some kind of #selfhosting thing I can use to combine data from #patreon, #kofi, and ideally YouTube and Twitch?

I want a single "support me" page on my own site to link to that has some details on total support + links to where to support me. It's 2025 I can't depend on any one corpo site and ideally, I wouldn't use any at all.

For those who would like to invest in a #DeskPi 10-inch #minirack popularised by @geerlingguy (for #SelfHosting or a #HomeLab, for example) BUT would absolutely like to avoid giving money to Jeff Bezos, #PiHut now proposes the reference

my adventures in #selfhosting - day 112 (scary Ghost edition)

Hello Fedi friends!

I'm currently putting the finishing touches to a post on my brand new, self-hosted #Ghost blog (https://news.elenarossini.com).

Very soon, I will test two things:
1) the newsletter integration (hoping everything will run smoothly)
2) the "Mastodon hug of death" - aka I will post a link to it on Mastodon and I will see what happens when the article's preview card will be fetched by hundreds of Fediverse servers.

I need to go pick up my little one from nursery school in 90 minutes so pray for me everything goes smoothly ​

Minecraft Server in FreeBSD Jails Container —@vermaden

https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2025/04/05/minecraft-server-freebsd-jails-container/

I'm all about #SelfHosting and #datasovereignty.

But I'm not encouraging my clients I built a #website for to deal with hosting.

Because of security, maintainability, performance and time.

Doesn't mean they have no access to their website content. We have CMS for that to make their life easier, like #WordPress and many more.

If you're interested in that topic, here's a post about it (and my solution to save my clients if I get run over by a bus).

I tried out https://coredns.io/ for the first time and quite like it!

With a reasonably short config file, I have a hidden primary setup working; adding a new zone is just adding a text file.

Next up: generate zone contents and rsync them onto the coredns server (= DynDNS replacement)

Why do I run FreeBSD for my home servers.
—Mathieu Aumont

｢ TLDR : the main problem is SYSTEMD, the secondary problem is the stacking of abstraction layers docker / kubersomething most of the time used of unknown reasons “just because it's modern” ｣

Always check your backups!

I'm gonna have to do the extremely difficult and time consuming thing of migrating and backing up my data. I'm lucky enough to have an identically sized set of drives, but it will still be a pain. My server has been extremely flaky this week, because of course it has. After all, I'm not home to troubleshoot or fix it. I think it's about time to redo it all from scratch with the knowledge I have now. I've been running on the same data structures and setups from when I started self-hosting. I know how to do it better now but it always required too much work and potential data loss.

my adventures in #selfhosting - day 111 (quiet edition)

Good morning Fedi friends!

I hope you had a nice weekend.

After backing up my two VPSs I am now staring at my #YunoHost dashboard thinking: now what?

It feels a little odd not to have to tackle any pressing self-hosting issues. Everything seems to be working well, including my manual installation of Ghost on a second (Ubuntu) VPS.

I'm now in maintenance mode.

I must confess in the past 24 hours I have spent some time browsing @yunohost 's app catalogue. So many fascinating things in there! But I am exercising restraint (for now, LOL!)

I'm very grateful for all the software I'm currently self-hosting.

On Debian (via YunoHost):

• #Fail2Ban
• #Friendica -> https://elenarossini.fr/profile/ele/
• #GoToSocial (this account!)
• #LinkStack -> https://elena.social
• #Pixelfed -> https://photos.elenarossini.com/ele

On Ubuntu:

• Fail2Ban
• My #Ghost blog/newsletter -> https://news.elenarossini.com
• #Varnish cache

I'm highly aware of my privilege and how lucky I am to be doing all this. But can I confess I'm a little bored? Thankfully I may have another big project on the horizon: upgrading my VPS and installing / self-hosting #PeerTube. But that will be for another week. Resting now and enjoying this sense of empowerment / digital sovereignty. Very grateful to be in this position.

Wishing you all a fantastic week!

As we always take our time, latest Cloudron release v8.3 is only now fully rolled out to all. Most instances would have already gotten the update as early as 2 weeks ago.

Mostly it only contains housekeeping updates to core services: https://blog.cloudron.io/cloudron-8-3-released/
