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.

Image Transcription:

A one-panel XKCD-style comic with the title "The Self-Hoster" One character is seated at a computer, talking to a second character standing behind their chair. Character one says: "It took all weekend, but now that I have a Mastodon instance running in Docker behind a reverse proxy with cloud-provided media storage, I can enjoy interacting with a federated network of other users without compromising on privacy or content moderation." Character two replies: "Cool, what kinds of topics does your network discuss?" Character one replies: "Our experiences self-hosting Mastodon instances, mostly."

The only mistake I see is attributing the work to XKCD.

Hm, I guess I assumed based on the style. It's an edit? I'm not really sure what to call it then. I've edited my post but if you have any suggestions please let me know.

It's an original work in the style of XKCD

The image is a cropped xkcd with the text replaced but the same joke.
