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

Gotta be honest, my home lab chugs along quite happily.
Atomic fedora makes it hard to break, and then all the services are containerized and managed by configuration and just files only.
When there’s an update to a service: just pull service. Firewall needs configuring: just firewall-reset && just firewall-enable.
The only flaky thing is a vpn that I run through glutan and I’m thinking of dumping that provider.
I haven't messed with my raspberry pi in maybe a month... And I think one of my backups got corrupted because I receive an email saying that it failed along with tons of errors every night. Hmm, maybe I should get to that soon...
I havent messed much with my servers in 2 years. I think that means I'll hit my RIO in another 5 :)
Honestly, that would be living the dream... I have too many other things I want to do!
Man I always get sad when I see this meme format because the story behind it is so fucking tragic... :(
