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.

Hello! I need a guide on how to migrate data from shared hosting to Docker. All the guides I can find are about migrating docker containers though! I am going to use a PaaS - Caprover which sets up everything. Can I just import my data into the regular filesystem or does the containerisation have sandboxed filesystems? Thanks!

Yes, I would set up the containers empty, then import your data however the applications want it. Either by importing via their web interface, or by dropping it in their bound directory.

Thanks! So, here in the Capriver demo config for Wordpress path says: var/www

This is the regular var/www? Not a different one for the Wordpress container?

I would just simple put my current WP files (from public-html) in that directory?

Do the apps all share a db?
