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.

I would have taken a deep dive into docker and containerised pretty much everything.
Converting my environment to be mostly containerized was a bit of a slow process that taught me a lot, but now I can try out new applications and configurations at such an accelerated rate it's crazy. Once I got the hang of Docker (and Ansible) it became so easy to try new things, tear them down and try again. Moving services around, backing up or restoring data is way easier.
I can't overstate how impactful containerization has been to my self hosting workflow.
Same here. Now I'm half docker and half random other stuff.
I'm mostly docker. I want to selfhost Lemmy but there's no one-click Docker Compsoe / Portainer installer yet (for Swag / Nginx proxy manager) so I won't until it's ready
Same for me. I've known about Docker for many years now but never understood why I would want to use it when I can just as easily install things directly and just never touch them. Then I ran into dependency problems where two pieces of software required different versions of the same library. Docker just made this problem completely trivial.
Same, but I've never once touched Docker and am doing everything old skool on top of Proxmox. Others may or may not like this approach, but it has many of the benefits in terms of productivity (ease of experimentation, migration, upgrade etc)
