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.

This is corny, but thanks for being awesome! It feels so nice to see this community grow out of a shared vision of what the internet should be.

Standing up my little instance has been a blast! I'm not quite done with it, but your combined enthusiasm gives me hope for the future of the internet. 😊

As an old fart it pretty cool to see some moving back to how things were. Smaller more personal spaces run by people instead of corporations.

Fellow old fart. I remember having to call my buddy so he could hook his family's phone line to his bbs before I'd dial in. I remember standing up a web server in the days where you could find all the new sites on a page at NCSA or CERN. When there was a literal directory of the WWW.

The corps definitely made it easier to get out there, and thank god for online shopping, but the dream of connecting with random people on the other side of the world never had banner ads or unskippable video propaganda.

Is robotics 19.2 was awesome to see pages of text load at a time vs scrolling in at 300baud. Telex was wild.
