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.

Nothing is safe to run unless you write it yourself. You just have to trust the source. Sometimes that’s easy, like Red Hat, and sometimes that’s hard. Sometimes it bites you in the ass, and sometimes it doesn’t.
Docker is a good way to sandbox things, just be aware of the permissions and access you give a container. If you give it access to your network, that’s basically like letting the developer connect their computer to your wifi. It’s also not perfect, so again, you have to trust the source. Do some research, make sure they’re trustworthy.
