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.

Does such a thing exist? A coop cloud provider? A unonized cloud provider? An ethical cloud provider? A good guy cloud provider?

You can look at infomaniak, they host everything in Switzerland and use 100% green energy. They also build on open source standards in a lot of places.

But in the end, servers are power hungry and need a lot of rare earths, other minarals and large amounts of energy to be produced.

I’m a big fan of DigitalOcean, they’re very much geared to developers. Had a chat with them a couple of days ago and they seem good guys. IMHO way more ethical than Amazon.
