Selfhosted
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.

Well, you kind of have to have the infrastructure to make the fun happen. Docker is probably one of the more easy to deploy from the standpoint of someone just standing up a server.
These and thousands of other apps can be deployed via Docker. You don't have to use docker, you can install on bare metal as well, tho containers make things neat and tidy.
As far as 'fun', to me it's all fun. I selfhost for the utility, privacy, security, and anonymity of it, the educational part of it, and because it's fun. My version of fun is going to vary widely from yours probably, but I find learning quite fun. Sky's the limit pretty much.
