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 (donβt cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

@Sunny@slrpnk.net There is absolutely no way any starter will see that page and not be intimidated. I am a well seasoned selfhoster and even I saw that and went "Wow that's a lotta words and images on a single page."
Even arch wiki has sensible ToC with pages divided into what the current topic is.
I think solely focusing on usability for "power-users" single page makes sense. Nevertheless, I think web design seems to prefer many pages though I don't know if that's driven by user-friendliness or driving up the "click-through" rate.
actually yeah, fair point. I think perhaps the videoes are probably what they aim to be more beginner friendly rather than the written one.
Yeah, beginners are probably better served with Yunohost.
It's so easy to self host! Just watch 14 hours of a talking head!
Fan of FUTO, but can't recommend this to most people thinking of starting. Needs to be less "scary".
Agree! It can only act as a reference. I like the approach taken by distributions like Yunohost where all the details are abstracted away.
Hrm, I don't. Part of the fun is learning how things work, and I've heard to many complaints of incompatibilities and lack of updates with Yuno, though I haven't tried it, so second hand.
If only there was a way to.. freeze media playback so that one can... oh shoot, we need a word for that next step, too, maybe... 'resume' could work? Yeah, resume it at a later date.
Such a shame that this idea has never been possible.
Agreed, that should be many tens of pages not one. Also the mobile layout isnβt very good. I think itβs important to remember that normies use their phones for almost everything.
