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.

As someone who's set up and managed critical business applications I would say that it's perfectly fine to host your own provided you have decent hardware that's capable of doing what you need and as a dedicated business line to provide connection.
If you try to run mission critical business applications on a home internet connection you're going to have a really bad fucking time. But hosting business critical applications on appropriate hardware and a 1Gb/s business connection with an SLA is going to meet 95-98%% of all business applications.
If something like that sounds expensive or too difficult to do then it's too expensive or too difficult for you to host yourself. Just go with a provider and sidestep self-host.
