Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

As mentioned many times I'm sure, I use my rpi's as a pi-hole/VPN. It's nice having them as dedicated devices for low power things, if my main server ever fudges up, my VPN still works and internal DNS is still resolved. If I'm not home and get complaints from the family that jellyfin isn't working, I can either fix it remotely or wake up my dev server for them to use in the meantime.
I also have an rpi 1 as a "dedicated ssh machine" that I can ssh into in case all of my other machines have gone goofy. If for any reason my two main devices aren't accessible, that one will be because if there's power to the house it will turn on. It does literally nothing else, so there's very little chance a power outage will corrupt anything. It does require that the pivpn device is working if I'm not home, but I prefer to leave that to it's own ...devices.
