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 (donβt cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

If they're easy to get, why have them π
I'm not sure I understand the question. They are used to encrypt traffic and prove that the entity hosting the site hasn't changed by using a digital signature. These two together make it so third parties can't read the traffic coming through. This is a requirement for modern internet. Otherwise your passwords wouldn't be a secret because literally anyone would see them.
Because then you can encrypt your traffic with HTTPS π
This is madness π€―
