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.

my SD card in my ras pi got corrupted recently. Thankfully I had my docker directory backed up. I pulled the docker directory, docker compose up -d and within about 20 minutes (not including downloading time) I was back up and running. Docker is a godsend. all my apps were exactly as they were before the corruption.

Not sure how your docker directory and services look like but the important thing is that you use remote volumes (or backed up ones) and that you backup your compose file and mounted config files of course. But besides that it's indeed that easy.
