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.
Resources:
- selfh.st Newsletter and index of selfhosted software and apps
- awesome-selfhosted software

IDK what's happened to you or why your post got removed.
Obviously "self-hosting" as a term is broad and subjective.
IMO this community discusses hosting services in an environment where you're responsible for installing, configuring, and maintaining your own stuff.
A purist might argue that self-hosting doesn't include services residing on a VPS, but what's the point of excluding those discussions from this community? In practical terms the nature of the activity is the same.
