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.

Haha I love how this has progressed, from 'What free VPS?' then 'Free VPS doesn't work' and now we're at 'What can I do without a VPS?'.
Anyway, I was self hosting from home well before I started playing with VPSs, so it's a good way to get started before having to spend money. And I still self host most of my infrastructure just because I prefer upfront costs to subscriptions.
Edit: I meant to add if you don't have a publicly routable IP or don't want to port forward, you can use something like Cloudflare Tunnels to proxy everything through their servers.
