Selfhosted

39452 readers

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.

For example, something that is too complex for your comfort level, a security concern, or maybe your hardware can’t keep up with the service’s needs?

  • My own search engine (a meta search engine like searx-ng would be fine though)
  • a tor exit node, because don't want to deal with the legal hassle (i run snowflake on multiple machines though)
  • a SMTP relay (recieving email is easy. Sending email is a pain in the ass)

Tor exit node, public Lemmy instance.

Anything that the family uses. Because when I cease to exist, my wife isn't gonna take over self-hosting! So e-mail, chat, documents etc.

Password manager like Bitwarden. I'd rather they take care of it for me. The consequences would be too great if I messed it up.
