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 (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

That’s not what I meant. I can self host without building layers upon layers of infrastructure and infrastructure management tools.
In fact your post could be misconstrued to suggest that if you can’t build out a home server cluster with enterprise tooling and automated deployment as in TFA, you shouldn’t self-host. Realistically, it’s not necessary.
I'm reacting to this mostly. Self-hosters are a bit of an obnoxious blend of people who want turnkey-but-not-Google solutions and people willing to learn how to do things. People whining about "having to use a terminal" are generally in the former category.
I get that. It’s never been easier to self host with minimal knowledge and people still say it’s too hard. I said terminal but I don’t mean that to limit to bash. It could be any server interface.
I deal with the tech all day. I get paid to. I’d rather spend my leisure time touching grass, but I’m at that point in my career where it’s difficult to get excited like I do in my 20s.
