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.

Hey there!

So, I'm getting ready to move from places to places for the next six months and it's going to be a bit of a hassle. My servers will be offline until I find a permanent home, which is stressing me out because I rely on a bunch of services I host for my daily routine.

So I've set up an Oracle free tier account so I can still access my favorite services while I'm in limbo. I'm using docker and Portainer to manage everything, and so far Serge (for the lolz) and Vikunja are up and running with no issues using the IP Oracle provided.

But when I tried to set up Bookstack, Whoogle and Searxng, they installed fine but for some reason they won't open. I've checked the logs and there are no errors, I just keep getting a timeout message in my browser.

I haven't tested any other services yet, but I'm stumped as to why these two won't cooperate. I'm just a casual hobbyist and not an expert, so if anyone could lend a hand, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Been using them for over a year now. I'm not a proud or loyal customer, but it's a very generous free tier and I haven't regretted it.
