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

yeah fuck that... fuck subscriptions ALL OF THEM. fucn these companies, ALL OF THEM.
stop giving any of these pricks any slack. none of them deserve it, nor money.
today it's 1.65... tomorrow it's 4.99... next week it's 12.99.. stop being a mindless sheep giving them any sort of leeway. you're enabling the scammers to literally scam you more, and more and more.
I'm relocating all my shit right now because we'll.. fuck em. I am loyal to NO COMPANY. none of them deserve anything but bankruptcy at a minimum.
I've cut down my subscriptions by a lot over the past few years, and I've gotten very close to what I consider a minimum. Whenever possible, I like to buy outright.
However, surely you can understand how not every product can function as a one time purchase. For something like a password manager, they are providing an ongoing service. They are storing and serving your data.
You can self host, sure, and I'm doing a lot of that lately. But not everyone has the capacity or desire to.
All that said, this leadership shakeup is concerning and I think I'll be migrating to Proton, since I already have a Duo plan.
You don't need to self-host at all! Daisy-chain your needed files via Syncthing and Syncthing-Fork. That's literally what I do with KeePassXC and KeePassDX, keeping everything offline.
I am totally in line with not agreeing with everything being a subscription. And I absolutely dont agree with subscription creep.
So I minimize what I pay for. And let me say, in no means am I defending the change in Bitwarden here. I would never.
It isn't a realistic expectation to expect any hosted service to be free. Especially in capitalism. Someone will come along and fuck with pricing.
Not everyone has the time, knowledge, or finances to fund self hosting everything.
But to automatically assume everyone is a sheep for using a service that benefits them is a bit of a jump.
Yes, I myself value privacy, security, and the merits of self hosting as much as I can with my resources. And I have had conversations with people on these topics, and there are the folk that lack the understanding of the importance of the hill many of the folk like me stand on. So I have seen the wide spectrum of people who pay for services.
Wild take dude.
yAlL aRe ShEeP blah blah blah...
'Mindless sheep'. That's hilarious. But I get it. Nobody likes to pay for shit.
It's not 'out of touch'. It's paying for (if it comes to that) a service that houses all of my business accounts, investment accounts, personal accounts, etc, and all with a pretty damn good track record. As with any technology, you must constantly evaluate it to see if what you are spending is justified for the service you are receiving. If at such time I feel the service isn't worth the price, then sure. As of now, it's not really an issue to me.
I assure you, I am fully cognizant of what for-profit corporations do. It's one of the reasons I turned off the TV over two decades ago. There just wasn't any ROI for me.
Hmm nice profile pic
Baaaaaaa.
Man, I tell you, I wish I could live in a fantasy world where everything is free.
Not sure about “everything”, but plenty of password managers are.
There are a handful of things I do not self host.
