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.

Usually, I'd aim for the cloud environments for public resources (serving more than like 20 people), as the traffic won't be hitting your home network.

Additionally, selfhosting a public service like Lemmy on your home environment probably wouldn't have the same uptime or reliability, as I only have one strong ISP signal, and no backup generator.

However, pricing wise, selfhosting at home is much cheaper for the processing power you get.

I do for my personal services.

I'm waiting on the internet to go down one day to see how my personal instance of Lemmy works out offline.
