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.

This sounds nice - when i'm done with getting my life back in order i'm gonna start selfhosting for real, and this goes onto the "to implement"-pile! (i just realized that the pile is getting pretty large)
Don't do a large pile.
When you get to it, start with the smallest possible thingy thats easy and fun and be proud of yourself for doing that.
Don't even think about the pile or the mere thought of it's existence will demotivate you from ever starting.
(ask me how I know)
Having spent a good amount of the last several weeks working on several self hosted things,I would have to agree. Simple projects shouldn't take long... But some shit happens.
When something is done and working, it is satisfying.
How do you know?

I wanted to set up a kubernetes cluster and bought 2k worth of hardware, which ended up wasting away in a box for 3 freaking years. I would occasionally get it out on a free weekend, waste 10 hours and then give up cause I had more fun things to do on a weekend. Every time I attacked the project, I had to start from scratch because of updates and me forgetting everything by then. Months passed, then years.
Eventually I abandoned the idea of kubernetes and just set it up a single node with dokploy and the next time I felt like it I added another node in swarm mode and so on.
Holy shit, sorry to hear. Hope you found some kind of use for all that hardware.

Lol, no worries. Glad to hear it didn't all go to waste.
