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.

Yes, I understand the situation is shady and f-droid maybe didn't handle it the best way on a human level, and that is important when evaluating trustworthiness.
What I was focusing on was more on the technical side: As long as I can:
then I don't need to trust the maintainer of the project at all, and I can ignore all the drama, being assured with a high degree of certainty there is no malware
I can also ignore any drama involving f-droid as long as I still trust them to build from source. This can also be verified by independent researchers by buulding themselves ans comparing, once again filtering out the drama and noise, though most people probably won't go this far.
