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.

As I rely more on my home lab server, I'm starting to worry more about it getting stolen. If someone breaks into my home, I think the server will be a pretty attractive target.

Do y'all just stick it in a closet? That seems not great for cooling...

One of my neighbors recently got broken into.

I had to scroll down too far to find something like this.

If you're home the solution is simple. If you're not home, then they'll likely steal an inexpensive boomstick rather than your network gear.
