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.

While I run my own Lemmy instance, I can say with 100% certainty - do not host a Lemmy instance on your own hardware.
It's tempting, and I did, but don't. The reason? CSAM. Your hosting stuff for other people, and if someone uploads something horrible to another instance, that is federated with you. That means now you are hosting that content.
The feds then have full rights to kick down your door and seize your hardware. On the cloud however, they'll seize your VM , but your home stuff is okay.
Hosting Lemmy is great - but it's something you really have to think about. Hosting your content is awesome, fun, and rewarding. I've learned hosting other people's content is.... Not as fun.
Is this really still true about images federating in Lemmy? In any case, I think the problem can be avoided by disabling pict-rs.
