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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (donβt cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I even started hosting the website for my local Italian restaurant and they haven't even realised it yet.
Wait, what? How are hosting someone else's website?
OK, here's how it happened.
I was hungry, and I wanted to see the menu for my local pizza joint. I couldn't find it anywhere.
I discovered that all their socials linked to a website that wouldn't load. When I checked, the domain had lapsed.
Out of frustration, I purchased the domain and pulled the last snapshot of their website off archive.org. It had their full menu as a PDF.
6 months later and it's still getting visitors from their facebook page, who are viewing the menu. They haven't even realised.
That's funny. Imagine how confused they'll be when/if they find out.
