Hosting Mbin (fedia.io)
submitted 1 year ago by paige@fedia.io to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Mbin merging the world of threaded discussion and microblogging makes a lot of sense to me, but on the latest FiresideFedi Jerry mentioned that it was the most challenging thing to host and hinted that it was still very much in development. Wondering what peoples experiences have been trying to get it up and running? What’s the stability and resource usage been like? Also it seems the developers of Mbin don’t have their own general instance, which is concerning to me because that helps a project monitor stability and optimize resource usage.

had to upgrade due to DDOS

If you keep getting DDoS attacks, then I'd recommend getting DDoS protection from your hosting provider, or using Cloudflare. A lot of hosting providers can provide DDoS protection if you pay a bit extra per month.

Luckily, I was able to mitigate it within the week it started, by setting up specific Cloudflare firewall rules. I just haven't remembered to downgrade the server since it happened :)
