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.

I want to host my website in my raspberry pi, I've read that I would need a web server software for this. Which one do you recommend? It won't be a complex website.

Caddy was my first and it's very easy to use. I use nginx nowadays because I heard it scales better. It's harder to use but manageable enough.

Depending on the type of website you're hosting, you can probably just use Cloudflare pages or Netlify instead of hosting it at home with a Pi.
