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 (donβt cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

I just started months ago, but I have a yunohost server ona raspberry with nextcloud and forgejo on it :)
I have a few things going on. I've been blogging some of my notes on how I'm getting some things going in Docker. But I only relatively recently started sharing my notes so there's not a ton yet. Hopefully there's something useful for someone here. https://magnus919.com/tags/selfhosting/
Pangolin!
Thank you for all for sharing π€© I still havent determine if I'm going self hosting at home or with a VPS, but I discovered cool projects!
Got a proxmox node with a couple of vm's, mostly for hosting docker.
I'm considering switching proxmox for kubevirt, but I'd have to deploy all my container as either k8s deployments or create new vm for docker...
Been using prometheus at work lately and I want to create a push setup with thanos backend, but for now it's just an idea
Running xen hypervisor (Debian 12) on a HP Elitedesk 805 Gen6 (currently 10 VMs) at home, a few VPS from different hosting providers too.
I host one of the worlds last gopher sites. And some Telegram bots, on Raspberry Pi's.
I host:
I think that should be it. I left out some less important ones and probably forgot a few that I don't use that often. All these services are spread across 2 servers at home and a small VPS mainly used for the mailserver and Uptime Kuma.
Honeygain etc.... First time I hear about them. Do you mind sharing how much you get?
It really depends on the type of IP you have and your location, but it's really not much for me. From Honeygain I get like 20 bucks every 6 months and when paying out the money around 4$ get lost by transaction fees, but better than nothing and those services use so few resources, you don't even notice them running in the background.
