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.

Just joined a couple of days ago so only fair to sum up the things I host myself.

I have 2 locations I host my personal stuff.

  • Datacenter:

    • Websites
    • DNS servers
    • Lemmy
    • Friendica
    • Mail servers
  • Home:

    • Home Assistant
    • Frigate
    • Jellyfin (incl Sonarr, Radarr etc)
    • Immich
    • Fileserver
    • Nextcloud

In the Datacenter I still run a VMware ESXi server that needs to be replaced (this winter) and at home I have a Truenas server and 4 Proxmox nodes cluster.

On residential connections it's a bit pain in the rear, but if you get VPS (or something similar) it's perfectly manageable. You just need to maintain stuff properly, like having proper DNS records, and occasionally clear false positives from spam lists. The bigger issue is to have proper backups and precautions, I've hosted my own emails for over 10 years and should I lose all the data and ability to receive new messages it would be a massive personal problem.
