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

@InsightSeeker@thelemmy.club Spantaleev's setup is probably the easiest way to get matrix setup honestly. Otherwise bridges etc tend to be a pain. You don't necessarily need to be a coder -- just follow documentation instructions step by step, and ask in their matrix channel if you get stuck.
You could also set it up on a device that's already encrypted on boot (via luks), so you'd have some protections if turned off.
I've been running it close to 5-7 years (don't remember lol).
That actually makes it sound a lot more approachable. I’m not too deep into coding, but if it’s mostly about following the docs step by step, I can give it a shot.
Will definitely try this out and see how it goes.
