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:

  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.

Im likely closing my instance soon due to costs and im sad my comments will disappear and remove and context and replies to them breaking many threads. Is it possible to preserve the comments someway or maybe migrating the comments to a another instance?

I'm pretty sure it would still work, but images for media content would have broken links. I'm not sure the refresh policy as far as remote media goes but local stuff could be re-uploaded and it should be able to retain things like the user names and comment data even without pictures.
