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.

Hello SelfHosted!

I have recently setup my own free tier oracle VPS and am looking to get my feet wet with some simple services that I can host on there to get started.

I should mention I have successfully setup SSH with the private key so that part is good to go.

Any ideas are welcome!

Searx NG worked well for me. I currently have Matrix running on another, set up with the ansible docker repo. Actually trying to set lemmy up on another.

I converted to pay as you go so they would open up the smtp ports so I could use postmoogle with Matrix but i still only use the always free shapes and still havent incurred a charge in roughly 6 months

Sounds cool! Could you link to matrix? Looking up matrix as you can imagine provides a lot of movie related results lol

https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy is the ansible docker deploy. Absolutely bloody amazing. They have a chat-GPT bot available for install now as well, though you'll need a premium API key to use it.

That's a great idea, I have my SearXNG instance running on my local box but moving that and some other low computer/storage stuff there would at least make my home network more secure.
