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.

RAID is carrying a spare tire in your car. Backups are like having an extra car in the garage in case your primary geta totaled.
It's possible you'll never need either one, but if you pop a flat, a whole extra car is overkill.
It's not a perfect metaphor, since most people don't have a spare car.
Most people don't have a RAID to fall back on either, and I would argue most cars' donuts or spares haven't been checked since the car was new so I think it holds up better than you're giving it credit for lol
