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.

Hi all,

Working through some things like a Will (I am fine, just normal life planning), and debating on methods for digital management when I do die.

I run a lot of self-hosted services for family and friends, all on secured servers with ZFS and on/off site backups. Key ingredient is Vaultwarden for password management.

I'd like to put something in place so that encryption keys, some docs, and key passwords are released to a tech savvy friend. Anyone know of existing solutions for this?

Requirements of:

  • Not providing keys to a third-party beforehand
  • Not forgeable to open
  • If possible, no "weekly press a button"

I'm thinking some kind of key pair where my friend has the private key and the public key is provided to a family member, and when activated a timer starts where I could cancel the release.

Last release was over 5 years ago and judging by the issues not receiving responses best to assume it’s deprecated.

Cool project it seemed.

Yeah, I was looking at the most recent commit being two years ago. Hadn't checked out the issues.

@ohshit604 @AbidanYre Nah, they are still doing releases, but they're hidden. You have to combine the past few releases to unlock the url for the latest release.

[I'm joking, of course.]
