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.

My budget-friendly solution has been to replace my ISP provided router with a 10 year old Netgear router that handles all the protocols my ISP does off eBay for £25.
I have a 4 storey townhouse so having this on the ground floor is useless when you're on the top floor.
So I have a power line system installed which I've hooked into the modem. I've got a wired router in the front room that has all the front room tech worked in.
On the top floor I have an even older Netgear router a friend gave me, with OpenWRT installed plugged into the power line and running as an access point.
In total this whole system has probably cost me £80 to fully install as I was given the older Netgear.
Works beautifully, cost very little, and I've got a Guest Mode ap that turns on when I turn guest mode in Home Assistant, a simple "Hey Google turn on Guest mode"
Should probably add that a power line transmits network signal over the power plugs. OP may not be aware this is possible.
