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.

Homeownership on the web is highly analogous to the physical world. Modern homeownership is mostly a story of home-rentership, not real ownership.

Incredibly, this matches the online experience, even though the World Wide Web has an infinite amount of real-estate!

You deserve a home on the web that’s built to keep you safe; a magical place for virtual living that‘s yours for life, existing in a sociable web.

Just reading through the steps there is a lot to get set up and sharing. You may need to consider simplification to on board more people. Looks like it could be put into a Docker container for setup. Did you want a hand with that?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Thanks for the feedback!

A docker could make the setup run, and if I rework where I store the data (now it's in the same folder as the listener so it needs a special tweak in the docker files) but the problem is the 10f executable that you use to share files with, it's a command line app so it would be weird to put that in a docker IMO.

Also, using docker images isn't really simple?

You are right though, simpler is better.

What do you think about a setup script instead? Like

  1. forward a port to your PC

  2. run the setup script with your public IP:PORT (or just the port and let the script auto-detect the IP)

  3. start the listener

Or should I still work on that? I can make a gui that helps setting everything up and run I guess.
