If you have recently installed a very up-to-date Linux distribution with a desktop environment, or upgraded your system on a rolling-release distribution, you might have noticed that your home directory has a new folder: “Projects”

Relevant since we started outright rejecting agent-made PRs in awesome-selfhosted [1] and issuing bans for it. Some PRs made in good faith could probably get caught in the net, but it's currently the only decent tradeoff we could make to absorb the massive influx of (bad) contributions. >99.9% of them are invalid for other reasons anyway. Maybe a good solution will emerge over time.

I just released v5.0.0 of my preconfigured Debian system for personal computers/workstations.

It's "just" a plain Debian system trying to stay close to upstream, with saner (in my opinion) config defaults and default packages selection. 10 minute offline installation, provides a ready-to-use system with a lean XFCE-based desktop and applications for common use cases. I've used it as a daily driver for years, and also to "fix" machines I don't really want to support except for the occasional dist-upgrade every few years.

This release is based on Debian 13.

The live system mode also works but is not the primary use case.

The full build tooling is provided for those who want to build their own custom Debian-based system.

Old article I found in my bookmarks. Although I didn't have the use for it, I thought it was interesting.

Hi c/selfhosted,

I just wanted to let you know that I have added a frequently requested feature to https://awesome-selfhosted.net - the ability to filter the list by programming language or deployment platform. For example:

• https://awesome-selfhosted.net/platforms/docker.html
• https://awesome-selfhosted.net/platforms/c.html
• https://awesome-selfhosted.net/platforms/php.html
• https://awesome-selfhosted.net/platforms/ansible.html
• https://awesome-selfhosted.net/platforms/go.html
• ...

You can navigate between platforms/languages by clicking the relevant link in each software project's metadata. There is no main list of platforms, but if someone creates an issue for it, it can be looked into (please provide details on where/how you expect the platforms list to show up).

A quick update on project news since the new website was released (https://lemmy.world/post/3622280): a lot of curation work has been done, some incorrect data has been fixed, a few additions and some general improvements have been made. A deb platform has been added for those who prefer to deploy software through their distribution's package management system, and we're working on a Manufacturing tag for software related to 3D printing, CNC machines and other physical manufacturing tools.

awesome-selfhosted is a list of Free Software network services and web applications which can be hosted on your own server(s).

The "old", markdown-formatted list remains available at https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted and will keep being updated automatically.

The project is maintained by volunteers under the CreativeCommons BY-SA 3.0 License, at https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted-data.

Thanks again to all contributors.
