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.

So I'm trying freevps.edu.pl to run a Lemmy/PieFed server. It's not working so far. My server is left on pending and no matter how I try to activate it, it doesn't work. It claims to have "instant" activation as long as you verify your account and is supposed to provide you with an IP address, but it won't.

Don't you have 5€/mo even? Because that what Hetzner VPS costs. Or a little spare for used Raspberry Pi 4?
