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
- awesome-sysadmin resources

Who cares if it's exposed to the internet?
Encrypting your local traffic is still valuable to protect your systems from any bad actors on your local network (neighbor kid cracks your wifi password, some device on your network decides to start snooping on your local traffic, etc)
Many services require HTTPS with a valid cert to function correctly, eg: Bitwarden. Having a real cert for a real domain is much simpler and easier to maintain than setting up your own CA
