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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Im tired of doing unending infa buildouts.

I have my server pretty much set the way I want things. Now, I do tinker a lot. I enjoy the tinkering because I'm learning and to me, it's fun. It's a very useful hobby. The tinkering, however, happens either on separate, local machinery, or on my test VPS. Not on my production server.

But I feel ya. Once you have something the way you want it, it works for you, and matches your flow, no need to constantly reinvent the wheel.
