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.

Just joined a couple of days ago so only fair to sum up the things I host myself.

I have 2 locations I host my personal stuff.

  • Datacenter:

    • Websites
    • DNS servers
    • Lemmy
    • Friendica
    • Mail servers
  • Home:

    • Home Assistant
    • Frigate
    • Jellyfin (incl Sonarr, Radarr etc)
    • Immich
    • Fileserver
    • Nextcloud

In the Datacenter I still run a VMware ESXi server that needs to be replaced (this winter) and at home I have a Truenas server and 4 Proxmox nodes cluster.

It’s not worth it but some people don’t mind the cost.

Real email security gateways cost money. There’s no good way to deal with it at small scale.

They don't have to cost money. The mail filter appliances are all based on postfix, spamassassin and a virus scanner like clamav. The thing you pay for is the nice gui.

It is, I looked at several vendor's and it's all te same except for the nice gui. They all have their own blacklist that they feed with the spam/ham queries from their devices.

I genuinely don't understand what you are paying for. I must have missed something.
