Selfhosted

54376 readers

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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I'm not the creator of this program, but its too fun not to share! The comments from the developer and users joining the swarms on the reddit thread are hilarious.

It's basically a decentralized swarm of docker users. It does nothing except tell you how many other users you are connected to. Some are in the tens of thousands, haha!

I don't like those projects either. Scuttlebut and cjdns looked more "profesional" to my ignorant eyes. I bring these up because I'd like to hear your comments. I will check 10fingers now...

Thanks!!

Cjdns is more of a VPN or some sort of internet communication in itself, so not really a sharing protocol, more like a communication protocol. You could maybe build a sharing protocol on top of it but that has ofc to be done.

Scuttlebut seems to be very interesting, didn't know about that one, thanks for the sharing! I'll have to check it out a bit more thoroughly, but it seems like a sort of IPFS-like at a first glance.

Cheers!
