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.

As an alternative to openwrt rather than getting consumer based hardware and flashing. Take a look at mikrotik I've been running a $40 wired router for years and it has tons of advanced features that are commercial grade.
They still push out firmware updates for devices first releases decades ago (eg rb433 from 2008. Wireless performance has improved but it's still not quite there yet, mostly in the area of signal strength. Personally I don't mind that with the ability to configure things in minute detail (if you want to). Superb hardware reliability and just all round great.
