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.

A simple question to this community, what are you self-hosting? It's probably fun to hear from each-other what services we are running.

Please mention at least the service (e.g. e-mail) and the software (e.g. postfix). Extra bonus points for also mentioning the OS and/or hardware (e.g. Linux Distribution, raspberry pi, etc) you are running on.

I plan on getting a server this summer (building it myself), and the things I have planned this far:

  • bitwarden
  • monica
  • minecraft
  • factorio
  • email server
  • maybe pihole
  • maybe lemmy
  • jellyfin

Edit: forgot jellyfin

Wait wait wait. A Bitwarden server? Please elaborate on what this is and the benefits of it? I use Bitwarden for everything and if there's a more secure route, sign me up!

The premium features of bitwarden are locked behind subscription (which I think is fair), but if you want them and would like to make sure your vault isn't going to get leaked in some big hack som time, then selfhosting is the way.

I haven't done it yet, but I know there's a software called vaultwarden written in rust, which is an popular, unofficial server. I think you can configure the client to use that instead, not sure tho

Most of the time it's called "Vaultwarden" and since Bitwarden is OpenSource, it's basically the same. Except that selfe hosted you do not have access to the haveibeenpawned API for your yearly subscription. Which is why my personal Vaulwarden is "only" a backup.

Hm if that's what it's for I may just stick to my subscription. Usually I go a self hosted route when I don't want to pay for things, but in this instance I feel it may be worth it.
