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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I'm a beginner, and I am looking to self host mostly everything.

Like, what I planned for so long is to, get a rpi4 b+ or le potato, and connect it to a 5 TB hard disk (initially) and dump all my data into it, and degoogle (because I'm not in any proprietary platforms). I wish to have it as my personal server, which I can Access from anywhere. And put upload and download data. And expand it whenever required. I also want to self-host my lemmy and invidious instances (from seperate setup like this). Is this what you all call self-hosting? Or it's too basic and there are lot more advanced stuff that I'm unaware of? Also how to start? Where to start? Is there any guide for a beginner like me?

Don't forget about backups! That 5TB drive can die at any random moment.
