This Week in Self-Hosted (27 September 2024)
Self-hosted news, updates, launches, and a spotlight on FerretDB - a lightweight MongoDB proxy for SQL-based databases
This Week in Self-Hosted
If you missed it, I launched my annual self-host user survey yesterday. It consists of 30-35 questions measuring self-hosted preferences across a variety of topics (more info in the link below). The deadline for entries is 9pm EST, Friday, October 11th. Please consider completing it if you have a few free minutes!

In other exciting site-related news, the Homepage dashboard project dropped a new release with built-in support for the icon collection I launched just a few weeks ago. To easily add them to your dashboard, prefix the software/service name with sh-. (If an icon isn't working, doublecheck its name via the link below.)

Content Spotlight: FerretDB
Meet FerretDB, a lightweight MongoDB proxy for users who prefer or are limited to SQL-based databases for storage. Initially developed in response to MongoDB's transition away from open-source licensing, FerretDB can be configured to sit between an application and a SQL database to provide the necessary query conversions that allow the software to continue operating as if it were storing its data in a MongoDB database.
FerretDB can be installed via bare metal or Docker and does not include a PostgreSQL database in the container image (users will need to maintain their own separately).
