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've thought about that a lot. I don't know whether to try to type up a manual of how everything works or just leave instructions on how to revert to a more basic setup. Either way I think my family would struggle.

OTOH I think documentation helps everyone involved, myself included.

OTOH no amount of documentation will matter if they don't care. Especially for stuff like this that has all this reasoning behind it, but someone else will do a crappier version for only $X a month and it'll work 'fine'.

Hahaha true for me too that they would struggle
