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.

Would it be possible for me to make comments to other instances etc?

Solved: I can't, it would only work with a public domain.

Plain HTTP should be considered obsolete. Also it makes impersonating websites harder (but not impossible)

Additionally, HTTPS if very easy to set up nowadays and the certificates are free^1^.

^1^: Assuming you have a public domain name, but for ActivityPub that's already a requirement due to the push nature of the protocol.

You can get Let's Encrypt certificates for DuckDNS, so you don't even need to own anything.
