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.

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

They're using AI for a lot of their posts as well.

I started running everything I could, but found the upkeep a pain. Didnt use most of it.

So I now only keep hosted stuff I use, if I don't access it once it's running then it goes in the bin.

I mean, at one time I went a bit overboard, but now, not so much, With newer technology happening, you don't really need a lot to accomplish a lot.
