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.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Uggh, feel bad for them.
I've tried for years to get friends and family to have their data sit in a single point in the house and use backup services. That would be a massive improvement.
Family won't listen, so I'm building minicomputers for them all that will handle it. Just have to configure their devices to store data there.
This started because one sibling asked about transferring photos from a phone, and I started documenting how to use Resilio and Syncthing.
Just a friendly word of caution:
if they don't appreciate what you're telling them to do, ... and if the minis you're building fail to do some magic data protection that they / you hadn't thought about... it'll be your "fault"
They need to take some ownership
Oh, agreed.
There's some other stuff at play with the minis (shared family photos, backup to each other, etc) that I'm going to use as an enticement to get them to learn to use these tools.
Once they learn that, I can slip in some other things, piecemeal, depending on what each person clicks with.
