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.

Hello everyone, I have some questions and need food for thought about clamAV. First, do you use it and why ? If yes, how are you running it ? I plan to maybe use it for nextcloud (and *arr stack later)

ClamAV is great for exactly one thing: checking the "has antivirus" checkbox on company security audits.

Don't get me wrong, it's a real AV product, but there's no real need for it. You'll get much better results just being careful about what you run and having a system and network firewall. And not running everything as root.
