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 just try to make everything as self documented as possible. Eg. no stray scripts, everything is either implemented in other software (eg. my main wireguard peer in systemd-networkd, without any non-obvious external dependencies) or tracked as a part of an arch pkg with a simple PKGBUILD. I usually either have very simple nets (eg. my VPN's net only consists of four peers, in the order main - secondary - laptop - phone) or leave it to DHCP and SLAAC. I try to avoid using ports for local servers as much as possible and use unix sockets. Stuff like LVM/Luks pretty much documents itself.
