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.

Appears to be Hetzner for now, wouldn't be surprised if all VPS get affected eventually.

Thanks, I just realized what community I was in lol. Stumbled in here from the everything tab, so now I understand the technical stuff!

I'll stick around here a while you'll have me!

Haha, welcome! Always good to have new people come in and potentially start their self-hosting journey. It can be quite fun if you have the time and interest.

Welcome! Consider a VPN if you need remote access, unless you plan to share it publicly with a lot of people. It's a bit more work, but safer than directly exposing your PC to the internet.

Thanks! I actually already have a PIA subscription that I use frequently

In this case, it would be a VPN hosted on your home server/router or a VPS. A commercial VPN wouldn't help you here, although you can use it in combination.
