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:

  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.

I don't understand it either. On one hand people say don't remember addresses, use DNS and on the other DNS relies on static addresses but then every device is "supposed" to have random addresses via SLAAC or privacy addresses. It just doesn't seem to tie together very well, but if you use them like IPv4 addresses you're apparently doing it wrong.
