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.

All the times I just put docker-compose.yml to one user (my user) directory and call it a day.

But what about a service with multiple admins or with more horizontally split up load?

I've been slowly moving all my containers from compose to pure Ansible instead. Makes it easier to also manage creating config files, setting permissions, cycling containers after updating files etc.

I still have a few things in compose though and I use Ansible to copy updates to the target server. Secrets are encrypted with Ansible vault.
