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.

So my employer got me a business Udemy account and I want to make the most of it. What are good courses there for a home self hoster?

I’ve got a couple Docker for beginners courses.

Would an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner be any useful?

I’m looking into networking as well, so I understand VLANs, routing and firewalls.

I have a decent grasp of Linux fundamentals, but I’m outdated in administration as I haven’t been more than a user for the past 10 years.

Honestly, what most people lack is foundational networking. How a TCP packet is constructed and routed, for example. The difference between routing and switching. How a TCP connection is built and destroyed. Stuff like that. And a basic knowledge of how a DNS request is made and resolved. And DHCP.
