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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I'd like to know your opinion about self-host a I2P container to use it for bittorrent. Thanks

How is the i2p doing?

Last time I checked (several years ago) it was slow, non performing and scarce in results.

And my lack of knowledge didn't help at all :)

It works and it’s easy to set up. It’s going to get faster and more important soon given streaming is dying and the Nazis are censoring everything they can.

Sure. I don’t use mine much, but I leave the note out to help the swarm so others may benefit. Even un throttled, it uses barely any bandwidth and it seems like a good fallback plan for if things get even worse.

Just use a docker container with a torrent program that uses a VPN for all traffic, like this:
