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.

Be at peace with the mess. All the software you're using have beend developed on their own, each has a different setup, maintenance work, they don't fit with each other they just kinda not bother each other. Unless you're using all the software included in a bsd or 9front base install, where everything is made to carefully fit, it'll be crappy to look at.
Be at peace with the mess, which also means be at peace with burning some/all of it and starting fresh when something new comes up or you want to "simplify" a part.
The selfhosting, much like art, isn't so much in the output: it's in the process of trying, failing, succedding with a crappy solution, and then goind on with the learning. If you wanted a robust beautiful stack you'd be paying professionals to do that :)
