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.

A simple question to this community, what are you self-hosting? It's probably fun to hear from each-other what services we are running.

Please mention at least the service (e.g. e-mail) and the software (e.g. postfix). Extra bonus points for also mentioning the OS and/or hardware (e.g. Linux Distribution, raspberry pi, etc) you are running on.

How has hosting Asterisk been for you? I've looked at it briefly a few years ago, and you just reminded me of its existence. Is this setup just for you, or do you have other users?

Complicated. Ultimately, I don't use it, but at a previous job we wrote a web-based softphone, and I was proud enough when I left of it that I continued to maintain it (since we open sourced it). I needed a test server for that, so I set up asterisk at home lol. Now that it's there though, I wanna get a SIP trunk and actually have my kids use it when they get old enough for phones...I Have a few years to go.

I've been looking for an easy CA for home use signing of stuff (open-wrt, wifi). how's your experience with EasyRSA?

It's ok, but it's VERY manual. I am ok with that, and it's helped me learn better. I've written some scripting to help manage it, but I am always worried that there are gaps and I'll miss some expiration. I am trying to compile an open source suite to essentially replace the AD suite, and it's competent thus far but with much less UI.
