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 solve it by paying way too much for a block of static IPs.

Way too much for sure.

Just the business internet to get the foot in the door for a static IP 5x's the cost of my Internet.

It's actually cheaper to just have DC IPs and proxy through hosted containers. Which is kind of crazy.

Negative aspect is that DC IPs aren't treated very nice.

Yeah this has been the biggest problem with hosting. For SMTP to work outbound you gotta have a good static IP. Everything else can be DDNSed. So either you get a business class connection or proxy through a VPS front end.
