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.

For example, something that is too complex for your comfort level, a security concern, or maybe your hardware can’t keep up with the service’s needs?

I think someone else already mentioned it, but just to reiterate... Anything for other people who aren't my wife and future kids.

Password manager, file backups, photo backup, whatever.

If something happens to me, or I pass away, wifey has instructions on shutting everything down (probably should write instructions on how to save all the important stuff).

But I don't want to deal with other peoples stuff. I like tinkering with my server and different docker containers, etc. So I don't want someone complaining they can't access their photos because I wanted to try something new. Also, just don't wanna be responsible for storing their photos and important documents.

@Tinnitus E-mail because of all reasons mentioned here.
Tor exit node because I don't want to have legal problems.
Mastodon or similar fedi instance because of its resources requirements and usage.

I feel like I'm having a change of heart on NextCloud... Every time some little thing breaks I have to figure out how to fix it

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

For updates yeah. I used to run it with docker and just about every other major update would break it. Then I went to bare metal...still broke. Now I have it on yunohost and its...better. Its only broken once last year. But heavy backups is how I deal with it.

IRC server or ZNC bouncer.

Aegis. Never use a local-only 2FA app on your phone.

[–] TKrios@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Any recommendations for 2FA?

[–] hempster@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Authy, having paid bitwarden and 2FA in one app is a disaster waiting to be happen in case of a security breach.

[–] lastweakness@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can Authy really be trusted?

[–] hempster@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Out of all hosted options available that I lasted tested 2-3 years back, Authy is the only one that reliably syncs and backups seeds across devices. I would switch in an instant if something like Bitwarden comes up but for 2FA only.
