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:

  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.

I only discovered this recently, and it's very handy.

Piping scripts directly to bash is a security risk. You can always download the scripts, inspect them and run locally if you so choose.

In the case of these ones you just remove the LXC/VM it created.

Neat. Now you have a snowflake install. How do you upgrade it?

Upgrade what? The LXC/VM you just removed because of a wonky script?

You went on with this for way too long, my guy. We get it, you don't like the helper scripts.

Did you purposefully misunderstand me? How did you not know that I meant "how do you update the thing you installed with a rando shell script" and not "how do you update something after removing it"?

You go into the LXC's console and type update, or use whatever package manager is available in the LXC.

I'm pretty sure for most of them you just type update and it will update.
