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.

It is, if you can host at home and use a cheap vps as proxy is better in my opinion. Like it or not when you host something you will put sensitive info in your vps and ofc you should trust them. Exactly like the vpn providers, they will fight for your rights paying 5 dolars/months? For sure no.
Or your Internet provider, they will also not fight for your rights paying $30 a month.
My services are not accessible from my wan, i forward all my services to a cheap vps,using a proxy and trafic is encrypted. So i am not worried about my isp also my real ip is hiden. I use something like cloudflare zero trust.. but is open source.
I'm less worried aobut sensitive info and more worried about owning the data. I'm looking to avoid a sitaution where I offload all the data to a 3rd party and lose access or pricing get expensive (like a Reddit situation). I'm more worried by offloading the data to a 3rd party I can't verify that they're not reselling it. etc.
