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.

Is there a good alternative to github pages? I need just a static website up.

  • I have a domain.
  • I have my site (local machine)
  • And that's all I have.
  • I have a machine that could be running 24/7 too.

Something that may help:

Why doesn't GitHub Pages fit your use case? It's nice to get free static hosting from them.

In what way? Anything on the public internet is likely being used for AI training. I guess by using free GitHub you can't object to training.

Then again anywhere you host you sort of run into the same problem. You can use robots.txt, but things don't have to listen to it.

Github, acquired by Microsoft, is now forcing AI on its user base.

That's one of my main drivers to stay away from GH
