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.

This sounds complicated, but it's pretty standard practice and probably a matter of minutes to set up if you have self-hosted other services before. What takes more time is the stuff that's not standard, like ominous configuration options.
Very easy to set up and almost no work to maintain*
If you, despite knowing better, rarely update your containers and host OS and often think about a list of other important tasks that you have yet to do.
No alt-text makes me sad. Can't be an xkcd without it.
"Found myself moderating chats about my Mastodon moderation setup."
Accurate. We care about privacy and quality. A rare breed.
So true
Hmm... Maybe i should write a Post about my Problems with the home Assistant App ^^
But Unfortunatally i mostly think "the official forum might be a better Place?"
They are laughing at you, not with you.
All my life.
It's always fun when my Nextcloud server crashes and I lose calendar sync
Or when I use my server through a VPN and fail2ban bans me
Shit I'm about to turn my old computer into a server. And tbh I don't need it but I gots to use it for something.
