“There are no plans to get rid of Old Reddit.” - reddit
Completely expected this, technically they are not removing it, just making it so shit no one would use it. Same move done by twitter when muskrat took over
The redesign doesn’t really work, it just tells you to use their horrendous app or login to see any “unverified” content. What that is only they seem to know…
Anyone still relying on reddit’s user generated data should use something like a redlib instance
There’s a million ways to do anything when self hosting, so I’ll just talk about what I have and if you interested just reply.
I only host a few services for now: Invidious, CloudTube, Redlib, FreshRSS. All of them as docker containers, this helps in quickly updating them and isolating their configurations. I have a few TB of disk space on the server itself that I can access through SMB3 shares, so I don’t have a proper NAS yet. Probably will do so at some point when I need it.
As for hardware, I’m using an HP mini-pc with
This mini-pc can literally be opened by removing 1 screw, so hardware changes/cleaning can’t get easier. I installed Debian on it
As for remote access, I use twingate instead of self-hosted wireguard. Mostly because I’m using my ISPs router and they like to reset it whenever they want. I’m also not confortable opening ports on the router. Twingate covers my use case completely so I never went back to this. I can map a custom domain to the server’s IP and this meant I just switch on twingate when I’m out and can access it seamlessly.
