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.

This is a completely valid option and one that more people should consider. You don't have to selfhosted everything, even if you can. I actually prefer to support existing instances of stuff in a lot of cases.
I use https://disroot.org for email and cloud, and I'm more than happy to kick them a hundred bucks a year to help support a community. Same with https://fosstodon.org for Mastodon. I'm fully capable of self-hosting these things, but instead I actively choose to support them instead so that their services can be extended to more than just myself. I chose those two because they send excess funds upstream to FOSS projects. I'm proud to rep those domains.
