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 (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Are you ready to be tech support for when the “weird box in the corner” stops working?
And there’s no mention of how far away these people live; the further away the less likely I setup something like this. I have no desire to try and fix a bootloader issue from 1,000 miles away just to waste several hours and have to ship them a new X.
I know this because I’ve done it, and I wouldn’t do it again. If someone doesn’t specifically ask for a home hosted solution (and have some sort of technical knowledge), I never offer a home hosted solution.
15 minutes drive to my MIL and 4 hours to my own Mom.
My dad used to do tech support and wants to learn some of this stuff while he's recovering from surgery and I'm at my MILs several times a month anyways. So it all works out. Also it's only fair as the FIL has helped me do so much with my car over the years I wanted to pay them back and he likes movies more than me.
Just making sure you know what you’re in for.
