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.

A huge problem are developers who lack a fundamental understanding of how the internet even works. I've had to explain how short, unqualified names resolve vs how fqdns resolve. Or why even you may not be able to reach another node in your proverbial cluster, because they are on different subnets. Or, why using GUIDs as hostnames is a generally bad idea, and will cause things to fail in unpredictable ways, especially with deeply nested subdomains.
I have worked with too many devs that didn't even know what the 7 layers/OSI are or why they exist.
they didn't know what a network port was used for and why it's important to not expose 3306 to the internet.
they couldn't understand that fragmentation of a message bus occurs when you don't dedupe the contents.
you know, morons.
Ah, the common clay of the new Web
GUIDs?
Could you expand on that topic? :)
guids like these: https://guidgenerator.com/
Why the fuck would anyone use a guid as a hostname?
My favorite I've seen in the category was when they had hostnames that were basically the IP address decorated with some bullshit. Like yeeeeeeeeah, that totally makes fucking sense. 😆
I've seen those with public routing servers.
Example: IP-127.0.0.1.dtag.de
Makes sense there or for webservers.
But anywhere else? Lol not really
Why would someone want that as their hostname???
I'd understand mountpoint but that?
