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.

Y'all should try it! I loved seeing it popping on other instances' /instances page, and seeing it polling other communities. Also changing the background in my theme was lit.

Lemmy's hosting documentation is a bit rough around the edges, especially the ARM situation (and its contemporary solution), so I had some extra tinkering to do. No shade at all yeah? I appreciate every bit of their work and I jotted down some points that I need to consolidate into a documentation PR soon.

Anyway, I feel like the extra @... on our usernames should be worn as a badge of honor you feel me? ;)

I ended up getting a cheap VPS to use for Lemmy and Matrix for exactly that reason. They didn't want to play well with Cloudflare proxy, so the VPS was the easiest solution.
