- How can I host an imageboard on a completely free VPS?by /u/Traditional_Blood799 on May 30, 2026 at 1:28 pm
Hi everyone, I’ve been interested in imageboards and old-school internet communities for a long time, and recently I’ve been thinking about creating a small imageboard as a personal project and learning experience. The problem is that I don’t currently have the budget to pay for hosting. Because of that, I was wondering if there are any legitimate ways to host an imageboard on a completely free VPS or cloud server. I don’t expect huge amounts of traffic. It would mostly be a small project for experimentation, learning, and maybe a few friends. I’m open to different software options and I don’t mind learning Linux or server administration if necessary. Has anyone here done something similar? If so, what free services, platforms, or approaches would you recommend? Thanks in advance for any advice or personal experiences. submitted by /u/Traditional_Blood799 [link] [comments]
- What’s a hosting misconfiguration that took down production, and you didn’t even realize it was wrong for months?by /u/onliveserver on May 30, 2026 at 10:10 am
We all audit our configs after an outage. But sometimes a server runs fine for months with a ticking time bomb – a wrong permission, a misrouted firewall rule, a PHP timeout set way too low, or a MySQL query that only breaks on the 15th of every month. What’s the most hidden, subtle config mistake you’ve seen that eventually caused a crash? How did you finally find it? submitted by /u/onliveserver [link] [comments]
- It is possible to host in my basement? Need advice to monetize space.by /u/Fun_End_440 on May 29, 2026 at 10:52 pm
I have quite a bit of space in my high ceiling basement, 240v 60A dedicated circuits, 7kw battery backup, 5tons of spare cooling capacity, Verizon Fios and Comcast connections. I was looking to invest in some hardware and list on io.net but looks like there’s no consistent market for 4090/5090. The only thing I can’t have is loud screaming servers. submitted by /u/Fun_End_440 [link] [comments]
