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.

Is there any good decentralized cloud storage for personal backups as a self-hoster? (lemmy.tomateaux.com)

I’m thinking of using Storj because I’d like a trustless solution. Are there any other good alternatives in the decentralized or Web3 space?

Don't use storj. I used to recommend them, but they have instituted a $5 minimum charge to have an account. The tl;dr is that they are interested in B2B, not individuals.

I've moved over to Tigris.

Announcement: https://forum.storj.io/t/new-minimum-usage-fee-starting-july-1/30057/1

Here's a follow up to the drama: https://forum.storj.io/t/a-follow-up-on-the-new-minimum-usage-fee-and-a-request-for-feedback/30089

Hit up the /r/storj for more drama if you dare to look at Reddit again :puke:

Why did you choose Tigris over the cheaper B2?

[–] TrumpetX@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm doing the archive tier which is cheaper than B2

Oh, that's disappointing. I was thinking of eventually using Storj as a second s3 endpoint for backups in addition to Backblaze.
