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.

Rustfs is sketchy as fuck though.

Thanks for pointing it out. Yeah it does. I just copy-pasted what I found and didn't check.

For posterity because I didn’t explain why/how it’s sketchy:

  • they just found a hardcoded key that skips all security that was in the wild for like two years
  • significant vibe coding means nobody actually understands the codebase. Hence not finding the backdoor key
  • some of the documentation is only in Chinese, which isn’t sketchy in itself, but given the backdoor key does seem fucking sketchy.
  • they have an X link you cannot remove from the admin console
  • the admin console has minor but stupid bugs: you can’t go from a bucket to the list of buckets, auth is janky, etc.

Just because it’s good a good name doesn’t make it good pedigree (which is a bone I have with rustXYZ named projects). The fact nobody caught serious backdoors for years is damning.

If you’re running this offline, it might be fine for you. I still run it inside my vpn behind auth but I’m looking to move off.

Thx very much. That's valuable info. I edited my comment and crossed it off my list of software to evaluate for future projects. I already got the vibe-coding and a bit of sketchiness by scrolling through the latest commits and issue tracker.
