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.

Didn't know this was an option even, will defo look into this asap and evaluate wether this fits my use case or not, thanks!
Depending on where you live and what your power circuits look like (not the outlets, the circuits that power them), you may have a great, or very poor experience.
I'd need to know what country you live in to know more, since power wiring standards vary from country to country. In the USA and Canada (I'm in Canada and the USA is the same), we use split phase and crossing the split phase will severely hinder the ability for powerline to perform.
It's a viable option, not my favorite option, I'd recommend MoCA (coax) over powerline, but it's ultimately up to you.
I live in Norway, thanks for the tips though!
I had a set of four for getting ethernet around the few places I rented. There was maybe the odd quality decrease when there was a lot of electrical load, but they worked great otherwise.
A set of four what? I'm sorry, not quite following.
Sorry, four of the power to ethernet plugs. You put one near your router to essentially supply internet to your house's electrical circuits, then distribute the others where you need them, such as office, living room if you want to connect a TV or console, etc.
