Selfhosted

53767 readers

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.

Besides "don't use Cloudflare/AWS/etc", how can we make our selfhosted setups resilient to outages like the ones we've seen recently?

Consider if you need three/five nines uptime. I know I don't so I don't worry if jellyfin or tickdone are down for a few hours.

I think it's more just in general and not specifically because they need it.

How much money are you willing to spend? Resiliency is expensive.

Implement fall backs. If your selfhosted services are public and mission critical, you should have something in your trick bag to fall back to.

Reduce the number of single failure points. How you choose to do that is up to you and what you can afford.

Either figure out a way to multi-cloud host, or just don't use them, because they're a single point of failure.
