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.

I recently switched to Porkbun from Namecheap specifically because I found Namecheap's "advanced DNS" settings to be somewhat excruciating to use, plus I also (finally, after doing it manually for a good few years) got around to setting up Certbot autorenewal, and there's not really a good way to do DNS challenges for autorenewal with Namecheap. Just generally I find Porkbun's UI to be very simple and streamlined without actually hiding anything from me. I also found that my domain renewal prices went down with the switch, something I didn't even consider when switching.
That being said, Porkbun and Namecheap are literally the only domain registrars I've used. For all I know there could be something out there I'd prefer way more.
