ποΈ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 93 β¨
Thanks to the brilliant advice of @CyberSaloperieelectron tamer in training π I have found an easy-to-implement, no sweat solution for my redirect issue. I am about to create a test subdomain with #YunoHost to try it out before I make the real switch (from my current Ghost blog to the new, self-hosted one).
Maybe tomorrow I'll share with you the URL of my self-hosted Ghost blog if you want to try things out? π I have already imported my existing members, I'm ready to go π
And yes, I'm fully aware the timing of my switch (from a Ghost Pro plan to self-hosted) is odd, considering Ghost Pro accounts are now part of the Fediverse. It's just that I couldn't justify spending so much ($31/month) on a free, non-monetized blog that I am capable of self-hosting. It's 6x the cost of my Debian or Ubuntu VPS.
And I kept getting close to the edge of 1000 members, which would have increased my monthly payments. Now I don't have to stress out about getting new readers. From what I understand #ActivityPub followers count as members for Ghost, so someone who gets a sizable following on their federated Ghost site would have to pay more.
I'm sure many people will love this feature (it's fantastic!) but it's not for me. I already have 3 federated Wordpress blogs and too many ActivityPub profiles as it is π
