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.

Hello again!

Recently had made a post where y'all helped me out as a noob setting up a server. One comment in particular gave me an idea and now I'm wondering if this would work and would it perhaps be easier to do, since I've had trouble figuring out how to (safely) set up the remote connection stuff.

I installed Fedora Kiinoite on the server/htpc and was learning how to use Podman since I don't want to go through the trouble of using Os-tree.

But it just occurred to - would it work if I used Gnome Boxes to run Cosmos Cloud and run all the services I want to remotely connect to from there? Or would there be an issue since it's a VM? Cosmos Cloud seems to make it easy to securely remotely connect, and it uses containers too.
