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.

I was scared off a couple years ago when I attempted to host it myself. I took a break from selfhosting, but now I'm back, and from what I learned in the past, I know now not to torture myself swimming upstream when there are far easier downstream currents to follow.
I'm looking at conduit but I'm currently writing up a doc to plan out the process, and understand it before I actually deploy anything. I don't want to open ports, don't need federation and don't need encryption, since I'll be using tailscale to host a private server to only members of my tailnet.
I'll report back, either here or in the main community, because I don't want to expose ports, rent a VPS or use ansible for a simple private server for less than 10 people.
