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.

Dockge allows you to start/stop containers and edit your compose files from a handy ui.

Pros: if something goes wrong while you're away, it would give you a tool to restart a service or make some changes if necessary.

Cons: exposing that much control to the outside world (even behind a log in) can potentially be catastrophic for your stack if someone gets in.

Yeah, I think it really depends on use case. Like, I'm trying to imagine what aspect of my home lab could go so wrong, while I'm out of the house, that it would need fixed right away, and there's nothing. I only leave my house for work or maybe a week of vacation, though, and I can imagine someone who's occasionally away from home/house for 6-month deployments, or has a vacation home they only visit four weekends a year, might want more extensive remote maintenance. I'd still want to do that via ssh or vpn, but that's me.
