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.

Do you actually need a VM for your use case? You might use docker containers or LXC instead.
Normally I use VMs for situations where a container isn't available (Windows, openwrt) or the VM is better supported (arguably
home assistant).I realize I’m being pedantic, but aren’t docker containers essentially just wrapped VMs?
Nope. Docker containers are kind of "virtual filesystems" and programs are running on top of the host's kernel. They're just isolated processes running on their own volume - to which you can also attach external "volumes".
