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.

I run a jellyfin server and give access to about 10 friends. I just kicked everyone out and the new rule is, that I will only stream to linux devices.

So there will be a few streaming boxes at friends places and I thought this could be a nice opportunity.

**Some ideas I've had: **

  • distributed backups
  • botnet (I always thought about playing around with a smal botnet on socials to do some fun experiment)

If anybody has cool ideas, please share : )

Edit: Everything runs on tailscale

Are you friends okay with you doing that? I would not be, especially if my so-called friend didn't disclose the secondary operations of the device that's in my home, on my internet connection, under my name.
