Selfhosted

51205 readers

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.

I don't actually care, but odd that every installation does this.

Zalgo captchas would go so hard.

I hate it when Free Software installers present the GPL as if it's an EULA. It's not! You don't have to agree to it to install the software!

You only have to agree to it if you decide to do something that copyright law otherwise does not allow (e.g. redistribution of a modified version), and it is the act of doing that thing itself that signals your acceptance, no button-clicking necessary.

Leaving the holy bare metal and switching to cursed virtualization

Username doesn't check out?

It's him, he's the chosen one. The one who gets to use the software without agreeing to anything. The one who will bring peace
