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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

The fourth article in my series about "self-hosting for newbies" explaining how I take care of backups for my YunoHost server.

It still reads like an ad for yunohost...

An ad for what, exactly? Yunohost doesn't have anything to sell you...

Sometimes people are just passionate about things. Like digital sovereignty.

People aren't learning how to use each of these tools and how to be flexible in their implementation.

Who gives a shit? I don't know how to write apps for my phone either, I just click the install button and away I go. I don't have time for a new career. If it weren't for YNH I wouldn't be hosting at all. And it's not for lack of trying. Shit is complicated.
