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.

After trying out Cosmos Cloud (and it not working for the clients), I'm back at square one again. I was going to install Docker Desktop, but I see it warns that it runs on a VM. Will this be a problem when trying to remote connect to certain services, like Mealie or Jellyfin?

No its not.

While podman fully OCI image compliant, the network stack of it is different. And podman runsias user, not as root.

Not to mention that podman is a CLI, but OP asked for GUI

That's interesting. I didn't know Podman had a Windows environment desktop app.

Also works good in macos. Been using it instead of the lima/colima stack for a few weeks now.

Tbf Idk how well it works on windows, but on Linux and Mac I have had no problems with it.

Ok, this is interesting 🙂 they also have a learning center thing it says, so maybe I can take the classes/lessons/tutorials they mention.

I just really hope I then figure out the remote connection stuff. That's the one I'm most paranoid about and wanting to figure out
