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.

Wow is that ever a load of snake oil.
I see this kind of guide as actively harmful because it creates a false sense of security.
Is there bad advise on there?
I skimmed it and there's lots of good advice I think.
I'm no security expert and this is an honest question.
Disabling su is stupid because you always need some form of privilege escalation, restricting sudo to apt offers no security benefit whatsoever as apt allows arbitrary file modification, disabling root ssh provides no benefit when the unprivileged user has sudo access – I could go on.
Thanks for these insights.
Us newbs have much to learn
