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.

One of the best uses of encryption is that you can pull drives that die and not have to try to wipe them as they die or smash them. They’re encrypted so it’s just gibberish. Mostly the reason to encrypt.
I auto-unlock with two things: a USB drive I put in the computer that it looks for and another computer on the network that hosts an unlock file. I’m not defending against nation-states or the Gestapo, regular rubes won’t notice the pi zero hidden that hosts the network file. USB drive is for just-in-case so I don’t have to type that long ass password ever.
I didn’t try hard, but I’m not sure how to make auto-unlocking more secure.
Especially if you stripe the data across multiple drives too
