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.

This basically just means the files themselves become the authentication.

I don't see a singe use-case, where you couldn't just use normal private-key encryption and just save the private key to a file somewhere else. And if you want to distribute it to multiple locations, so that you need all of them, then there are also encryption methods for that.

if nothing else, you could make a pretty fun digital treasure hunt or geocaching thing with it
