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.

IMO these kinds of poor man's automation scripts are only useful to novice sysadmins but those are exactly the kind of people who shouldn't be running scripts they piped from the internet for both the fact that it's risky behaviour and the fact they don't then get the experience doing this manually for themselves to move on from being novice.
That said, let's not gate keep. If novices don't want to gain experience actually doing sysadmin work and level up their abilities and just want stuff that will probably work but that they'll not be able to fix easily if it doesn't, at least it's a starting point and when things break some of them will look deeper.
This shouldn't be an excuse for promoting risky behavior.
