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.

Yeah that's part of having a hobby. If you do it for work too I can understand getting sick of it. But, no one is making you do it. If you don't enjoy it, don't do it.
While this might be a healthy outlook, these days more and more people do not feel like self hosting is a hobby or an option, but a necessity for a free and fair society.
This sooo much. I’m not a tech person but I’m trying to learn because the giant corporations are clearly evil. I just want to have a modicum of privacy in my corner of the world so here I am trying to figure out how to self host some basic services.
This. I self host some things because it's just fun, other things because of censorship, other things because of privacy. I probably wouldn't have Nextcloud if Google wasn't collecting so much data. Probably wouldn't be self-hosting my blog if content weren't as censored everywhere. I probably would still be self-hosting a Minecraft server with a small website for said server that the members of the server can contribute to when they find/do something cool.
Nextcloud is on my list lol, but I need to run a separate box for it I think vs visualizing. It would be easier/cleaner and more reliable.
Yeah, it's definitely one of those that's also just... Useful. I usually don't go for software that's trying to do too much, but for some reason I don't mind having nextcloud as 10 different things xD Sync files, sync podcast listens, sync my RSS feeds... A lot of things all in one
