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.

do you have discord by chance sorry for asking just so I can ask stuff and I already have an ubuntu server setup isn't that like an vps already

If you already have a server then follow the installation instructions on the pterodactyl website. https://pterodactyl.io/panel/1.0/getting_started.html

Then if some step goes wrong:

if you want help you should provide detailed information. Tell exactly what commands you entered, from start to finish, not skipping anything and provide the outputs that you’ve gotten, especially the errors.

The pterodactyl discord will probably be more helpful there.

good news got to work and all just one issue I am having is I can't connect to it for some reason from my PC although its all working

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 2 points 20 hours ago

how do you know it's working if you can't connect?

if you run the server on your computer, did you set up the port forwarding? does it work if you just connect to localhost, or the local ip of that computer?
