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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Basically, I want to make one for some multiplayer games out there (along with Stoat communities, or something similar - what do y'all recommend? Bonus if it has voice chat).

What would I need, and how can I set this up safely without having my own network hacked beyond comprehension? I could do it off site from home too if that's better.

I have a Raspberry Pi 4gb, but also an old DDR3 16gb desktop with a PCI network card available if that's recommended.
