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.

Hi there! This is a video that I made that I'm hoping can act as a beginner friendly entry level point to the world of self hosting and running a homelab. Just thought I'd share in case anyone is interested, and I hope it can be a resource to share with noobies. I don't claim to be an expert at all so I'd also love some feedback. Thanks!

That’s a pretty vague title. What kind of server? I run emby. I also run a ton of other servers.

did you try clicking the link? titles aren't meant to convey all relevant info.

A 30 minute be video is a big ask when I don't know what it's going to be about

Hey @SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world, your yawning emojis aren't very convincing when I see that you are still actively following my account.

Telling that you haven't considered that your comments might just be equally useless in the same circles we inhabit

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Considering you are the sole downvote on all of my comments it's doubtful we inhabit the same circles.

But if you want to spend your time following me around that's less time you're spending posting useless unhelpful comments, so that's fine by me.

You're the one apparently stalking and invoking me, sweetie.

Come up with that all by yourself, did you?

Mimicry is the sincerest form of flattery.

Stalking is an unhealthy form of obsession.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Then I suggest you cease.

ok, did you read the body of the post?

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 days ago

Yes, did you try just telling people what kind of server instead of leaving passive aggressive replies?
