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.

I looked at those a few years back but never could figure out how to have an actual phone number instead of just internal sip lines. Where would one get an actual phone # from on those?
Any number of SIP Trunks DID (Direct inward dialing) providers.

One of my favorite for north america has always been https://voip.ms/ small business that's been around for 15+ years they offer both fully hosted and self hosted options.
I want to second voip.ms. I've had a number with them for years and I've been nothing but happy with the service and cost.
Thanks! I hadn't heard of voip.ms but just signed up. Looks perfect for my needs.
So I would have to contact one of those providers if I wanted to keep using my current phone numbers, then?
Yes, number portability extends to compatible VoIP providers.
I have a FreePBX virtual machine hosted at home. I use VoIP.ms which covers most North American numbers and many numbers abroad. I use it to provide phone service to my parents house and cottage and my house and cottage. I put in about $40 a year to cover all these places with their own DID number.
