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.

The thing with self hosting is that you want in most cases, to set and forget and that means you want as little going wrong as possible. To ensure that, you need to find a way that other things can't fuck with what you're hosting. This is called a container. The trade off is disk space, but that's okay because it's a server, unlike on a computer, but let me not start my rant about the stupidity of Snap and Flatpak. Anyway... Thanks to containers, you don't have any external factors and basically everything runs in its own world. Which means you can always delete, restore and edit without anything else being affected.
