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.

Self-hosting is a literal addiction. lol
I started with just an invidious instance and now I have my own audiobooks app that I’m also turning into a navidrome client. Did I say jellyfin and pihole, too?
It really is 😅
I never thought that I'd want to spend my Saturdays fiddling with servers, but here I am
If you have bought audiobooks on audible that you would like to add to your own server, I can recomment Libation or this great docker image of it that comes with vnc so you host it headlessly on your server https://hub.docker.com/r/ceramicwhite/libation
Pihole, then Jellyfin here.
I now have way too much IT stuff on my room :D
Ha, yeah, I started on a Raspberry Pi 4 and now have spent over $2k on my server through various upgrades over the years.
Damn. That’s a lot of money. I actually didn’t spend anything on the hardware. I have a friend who gave me a dell optiplex he was about to throw away and a 2 bay Synology NAS with 8TB storage already on it when he upgraded. Been using them for 3 years now. The optiplex now runs Debian server, and the SynNAS is mounted to it as a mass storage for my stuff.
I'm curious, is self-hosting invidious even worth it? Youtube can still see every video you pull through, right, and now it's linked to a static ip address associated with you?
6€ a month for a VPS with self-hosted VPN :) I run all my self-hosted applications on my laptop but run it all through my VPS
Invidious is certainly worth it, even though you lose live feeds at the moment. You can even remove comments and trending. If you want to subscribe to a channel, you can do it without YouTube.
