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.

Oh gosh....a plethora of things. I use probably 98% of what I self host on a regular basis, the other 2% are things I'm testing out, or learning how to do. Some of the things I host:
Do it OP. You got to start somewhere. 8 gb of RAM will run a nice group of apps. That's kind of the nice thing. These apps do not run constantly, but rather mostly on demand. You're probably not going to be able to run heavy programs like Elasticsearch, LLM/AI, or apps in that group. I haven't found much that I need that I can't self host.
I'm currently learning Ansible and CI/CD type environment on a test server. I'm no where close to prime time tho, but that's the thing. You can always have something in the skunk works you're working on, and when you get to the point you're ready for production, you can deploy it on the production server.
Welcome to the most fun, frustrating, educational, useful hobby you'll ever dive into.
Great list! Why no kiwix? Seems right up your street
Well, I...er.. haven't gotten around to it. LOL TBH I've seen the name in the wild, but never really gave it a serious look see. However, I did a cursory search just now for Kiwix and that looks very intriguing, so I put it on the list. Next time I spam my list to the community, you'll see Kiwix. LOL
Thanks for the prompt.
Thank you for the several new additions to my own list xD
