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.

Hi, I teach a CS course, and I was wondering if there is a practical way in which to setup a server that would accept student's tar files, run some tests, and show them the results.

I could go "full unix mode" and roll up some accounts let them ssh into a server, scp their their files.... but I was wondering if there is a prepacked solution for this that is nicer to the eye. And I thought maybe you know some.

That sounds like build automation. You can use some Git forge software.
