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.
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Home network. The most fun was setting it up and finding out about ZFS, ymmv.
No multiusers, so I use a simple vpn to connect to my services from outside.
Apps use NAS ip address:Port and are easily viewed in a browser once installed.
I don't need much else so I install services as they catch my interest. Tried Tailscale, now looking at NetBird which might be the way forward as they now have a reverse proxy for testing.
Anything else is a bit too complicated for me to maintain.
