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.

A normal file system is something anything can access. You can open it in file browser. You can get to it via command line. You can ssh into from another computer and you can easily back it up with numerous tried and tested backup methods.
Why lock yourself into only being able to access your data via docker?
In a disaster scenario when you are trying to recover files, you will greatly appreciate being able to just see all the files super easily without anything fancy. It also means you can use any standard method to back up all those file.
Recovery is also almost as easy, copy the files back to where they were and just run the docker container.
Thank you, those are some good points!
