#self-hosting
I (finally!) wrote about scaling down the Bluesky AppView and how we can get to self-hosting beyond just your PDS in atproto!

best part of self-hosting: you know the sysadmin

worst part of self-hosting: you *are* the sysadmin

I wrote a quick guide to getting started with self-hosting.

It doesn't matter what your motivations are, now is a great time to get started taking ownership and responsibility for your data.

related: I do have a general concern about PDS flight because the barrier to entry for self-hosting the pds is *just* below the barrier to entry for self-hosting a disaster recovery solution

Fluxer doesn't have federation just yet. It's coming tho. As soon as it does I'm seriously looking into self hosting.

The AT Protocol docs have improved big time since my last visit. My goal is to start self-hosting my social media posts at some point and it seems that's going to be much easier than I thought. atproto.com/guides/self-...

Cheapest option is self-hosting, though of course there is added time cost and a technical barrier to entry. I pay $100–$150/mo to self-host Ghost with a bit over 25,000 subscribers.

they should do this on a regular basis to encourage self hosting

the bluesky PDS DDOSes are a pretty good promo for self hosting

I've made a self-hosting guide. I wanted it to be easy to use, but setup is always technical, but I tried very hard and will edit if I get feedback!
