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.

Hosting a whole bunch of stuff for myself, the family and also the public. For the larger family I'm hosting eMail but using a managed service offering for that (Hetzner). Too old to run my own IMAP/SMTP infrastructure ;)

For a few private societies I'm hosting:

For the public I host:

Mostly formyself, but not restricted I'm hosting:

  • Pixelfed
  • LinkDing for Bookmarks
  • Excalidraw
  • Grafana
  • OverLeaf
  • StandardNotes Server
  • PiHole
  • GitTea
  • FreshRSS
  • Minio S3-kompatible Object Storage as Backend for Mastodon & Pixelfed (on an old Dell Optiplex at home over my DSL Line)
  • GoToSocial Fediverse Client (On a RaspberryPi at home)
  • PeerTube for public projects (on the same old Dell OptiPlex)
  • PeerTube as private Video Streaming platform (on a Dell Precision 3500 tower)

Most services run in Docker Containers on some VPS at Hetzner. Some stuff runs in Docker Containers on old spare hardware at home.

Self hosted email is a brave endeavor, but I always love seeing when people are cool enough to do it

Are you using the mail service from Hetzner or are you using their servers to host it yourself?

I'm using the Mail service from Hetzner. I did host my own eMails for more than 10 years but eventually decided it's too much hassle.

I'm also using their mail servers, but I'm having some issues with DKIM. Is DKIM working fine for you?
