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 wish someday self-hosting anything (not just Lemmy) becomes as easy as installing an app. Self-hosting doesn't need to be a nerd thing.
The hard part is the network. Everything is different with different ISP. The DNS is another challenge, you need to buy your 'internet real estate' and have it work correctly if your IP change.
Security is another challenge but I think it's easier to notice unusual traffic from your basement server than from a mega-tech-bro-corporation. There's probably some easy software that could do that.
Unraid with some Community Apps and Docker turned on is pretty turn-key with a ton of room for superusers.

https://yunohost.org/ is an attempt to fill that gap, but it's missing a key feature. Anything that wants to be broadly adopted will have to be appified these days.
