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.

Poor XMPP, no one will just let it die.

When you read technical stuff about this protocol, you understand it is a great one and it should not die.

Its still better than any new chat protocol thats been made in the last decade. You'll have to pry my family XMPP server out of my cold dead hands.

The VC money won't let Matrix die. The community support won't let XMPP die.

I know which I respect more.
