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'm running Nextcloud and PaperlessNXG on my servers. Over the last few months I tested out my remote management. Now that I'm back home, I've been making a few adjustments based on my learnings. Firstly, Wireguard is slower than a turtle, while Tailscale has been a little bit faster. I'm guessing this is due to my upload speed and switching to fiber may fix this.
I'd also like to add TubeArchivist back in since there's some great videos that I don't trust Google to preserve given the direction things are going.
The folks on the "privacy" Lemmy gave me some good tips on app replacements and after making a big spreadsheet with all my apps, their licenses, etc., I cut down my remaining proprietary apps by at least 50% and I only have a few proprietary essentials that still depend on Google Play. I've been meaning to do this for a long time and I almost have a path towards completely removing all Google, Amazon, and Microsoft products from my life.
Next, I'd like to set up Wander to eventually get rid of Garmin/Strava but I haven't been able to figure it out and I'm still locked in to some degree because of my hardware (Garmin watch). The Ring doorbell has to be the next thing to go, but I'm exhausted and haven't had the motivation to start a new project until the dust settles from the last one.
