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.

My media setup is on a Linux VPS configured with Swizzin community edition. I tried a bunch of docker-based projects over the years but could never quite get my head around it. A good friend of mine just redid his whole setup with docker tho, so maybe if/when mine breaks I'll give it another shot.
I despised the thought of another layer adding to the difficulty of troubleshooting problems, it took me a long time to make myself try it. And sometimes it does make you have to think a bit about what it's doing under the hood but if you commit to it and work with it, it's such a great way to silo your services. I wouldnt' go back now.
I definitely struggled to wrap my head around it at first, but I got used to using it when I got into DevOps, and once you understand it, it becomes so easy and helpful that it's easy to overuse it. I can certainly answer any questions to the best of my ability if you do look into it!
