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.

Docker makes sense for several applications, but there's no intuition unless you're good at memorizing commands/command lines. I can't just open up an installer or fumble through it decently well enough to get up and running.
While a UI does add overhead, done well it's not bad. But also, different people learn different styles, and for the extra bit of resources, I'm willing to sacrifice a few MB ram or CPU utilization for less tinker time. However, 20 years ago I didn't mind spending that time learning stuff like that because I had a lot more time and way less commitments!
I mean you’re memorizing a GUI as well. I don’t work in this field at all but docker compose files are pretty straightforward even for me. Took like 15 minutes to figure out and now it’s much quicker to get set up than any other option.
