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:

  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.

“It incurs additional battery usage.“

Does it? I always use a vpn on my phone and laptop and it’s not even measurable. Sure there’s gonna be more CPU usage, but with hardware acceleration and whatnot it’s almost nothing.

This is anecdotal experience, but last time I left Wireguard on for an entire day and it accounted for 5% of battery usage that day.

Fair enough, this is 10 days of usage for me always being on.

Mine is so low it says "no usage".
