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.

EDIT- The issue is having is with “Authentication”. I haven’t made it past that step. Incorrectly said “addresses” on the original post.


Yo yo! Fairly new to making a change towards privacy. My brother gave me a raspberry pi 4 and I want to experiment with that before making a bigger change towards my other electronics. Rn I’m working on using radicale on the pi4 and I’m stuck because I can’t understand the technological language.

I’m trying to follow the tutorial on the radicale website but am getting stuck in the “~~addresses~~” authentication part. I can’t enter in anything Into the initial command prompt I used to create the radicale website. And when I make a new command prompt and enter that in nothing happens. I asked AI and it spits out an answer that isn’t dumbed down enough for me. Lemmy is my last hope before I try Reddit …

Don't listen to this person.

He's part of a culture that can't tolerate people doing things differently from him.
