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.

I was using webmin, but since my last server died and I'm making a new one, I decided I'd look into something different, personally I liked webmin but didn't use most of its functionality and felt a little clunky for my basic use. I've also testran casaos but felt weirdly limited and couldn't smoothly migrate docker containers to interact with its interface.

I can do with just the terminal, but it's nice having a gui that I can glance at my phone and quickly do stuff like update and reboot.

I personally haven't seen or found much conversation into the topic so I figured I'd ask and see what you peeps use and why.

dockge needs me to maintain my dockercompose on its own folder in /opt/ as root.

I just wanna keep my compare in its own repos

Huh, that's not my case at all, I run everything from the home folder with my user

[–] Scrath@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah, that would be the ideal scenario I guess.

It should technically be possible by mapping the compose files into the opt folder via docker mounts but I think that's an unreasonable way to go about this since every compose file would need a mounting point
