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.

It's only frothing if you insist that installing tailscale on your grandma's DSL modem is the best way to share home movies
Plenty of frothing about how jellyfin is a non starter because all 47 of my grandparents can't stream Snakes On A Plane from my server without needing to know how to spell internet.
Like I'm all for choices you know. But I want people to make informed choices. If I'd tried to pitch Jellyfin to my group of gamer friends for sharing media then it would have gone nowhere because it requires more technical knowledge than they possess or that I want to support. They were all able to set up free, relatively secure Plex instances with essentially no assistance.
Funny enough I'm in the "open it to the wan just practise basic web access hygiene" camp, I hope that makes me at least a little frothy
not a frothyboi sorry. unless you're encouraging other people to just open it to the internet with no security in place... that'd be a bit frothy.
