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.

Per the pricing plan, all licenses are forever licenses, but the lowest two tiers only offer 1 year of updates.

After that you can choose to renew, or continue with your current version.

If you do not like subscriptions, there still a lifetime plan, but at a higher pricepoint.

All existing plans are grandfathered in.

Note: I have mixed emotions about this, but I'm seeing a lot of rage bait, and if we're going to rage we might as well have our facts straight.

If you haven't subbed already and are interested, check out the unraid community at !unraid@reddthat.com. We are already discussing it over there too.

For it to be, you need a solid paying user base. Which is not the case at hand.

Very often also at.enterprise level the big money is in training, support and courses rather than in the software licenses per se.

Well duh, most software these days doesn't have a direct license cost; you don't pay for the Netflix app on your TV, you pay for Netflix the service.

(Okay, Netflix might not be the best example for sustainable software-based profit but you get the idea.)
