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.

I've been using gparted live for the most part to repair all sorts of stuff, but I'm wondering if anyone else has any other more modern recommendations, preferably even ones with Wifi or more graphics card support!

I also find installing deb packages to be way slower than they should be on a modern system (what are deb packages doing that alpine apk and arch packages don't??)

Bonus if they boot fast, too.

My trusty Arch ISO has never failed me, and it's fairly easy to make one with a whole GUI if needed. But it's not really turnkey.

Other than that, Ubuntu is still a pretty nice distro to have if only for the fairly functional GUI and drivers out of the box. Works great for fixing stuff and browsing the web for answers.

Nice thing is with Ventoy you can have a whole bunch of them for all different needs!

Hah. What prompted this post was I actually just discovered ventoy and was looking for more images to put on there.

It seems like it can even do a Windows one for when I need to do odd 3rd party firmware update that of course doesn't support Linux.
