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.

Define securely.

I've run my nextcloud online for a few years with no incidents, it's behind Apache, I keep it up to date, I have a bit of extra hardening (but none of it really hardens nextcloud itself it would just make running exploits on my server more visible).

It doesn't really add security in the traditional sense but for a personal server logging outbound traffic and having it email me when something non standard initiates a connection also gives me an added sense of security.
