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.

I'm a little younger but in the same boat. There is some friction having filesystems, ports and processes "hidden" from your hosts programs that you typically rely on. But I needed them sooooo much less now that all my services are in Docker with exactly matching dependencies instead of rolling my eyes about running two PostgreSQL servers in different versions or juggling Python / node / Ruby versions with ASDF.
Yeah, so worth it! The first time I moved a service to a new box and realised all I had to do was copy the compose file and
docker-compose up -d... I was sold.Now I'm moving everything to Docker Swarm which is a new adventure. :-)
