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.

I just remembered I started self hosting due to the old HAK5 youtube show, which I dearly miss.

What media do you enjoy regarding this topic?

They are extremely annoying to me. Dude pumped Raspberry Pis for far too long when there were so many better boards and options. And now is whoring out UnRAID which is by far the worst fucking option for selfhosters. And nextcloud is absolute fucking ass and that's all they talk about, never services that are much better solutions. When I really got into selfhosting, I realized that they really don't know wtf they are talking about and get paid to whore out inferior solutions.

I don't know unraid, so can't comment on that, but I do have Nextcloud which has worked fine for me for years.

What one-piece software solution do you have as an alternative to Nextcloud, that is still open source and self-hostable?

I like Self-hosted Show, as well. Sometimes it feels like they talk about a subject immediately after I start looking into it. The home lab zeitgeist can be eerie, I guess.

The Homelab Show was a good one, though they haven't posted a new podcast in almost a year. Lawrence Systems and Learn Linux TV are the makers of it and have their own content as well
