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.

Is your concern compromise of your data or loss of the server?
My guess is that most burglaries don't wind up with people trying to make use of the data on computers.
As to loss, I mean, do an off-site backup of stuff that you can't handle losing and in the unlikely case that it gets stolen, be prepared to replace hardware.
If you just want to keep the hardware out of sight and create a minimal barrier, you can get locking, ventillated racks. I don't know how cost-effective that is; I'd think that that might cost more than the expected value of the loss from theft. If a computer costs $1000 and you have a 1% chance of it being stolen, you should not spend more than $10 on prevention in terms of reducing cost of hardware loss, even if that method is 100% effective.
