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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

OP might not be looking to make a full paid service considering he's just doing this for friends and relatives.
I get the sentiment though. I run a Jellyfin server that I share with a few friends and some of them have flat out told me that I should start charging for it. I refused because getting paid for it just sets up an expectation that it will be reliable and have all the stuff that they want. Personally, I don't want that kind of pressure. I want to be able to tweak the server and install new things / updates without worrying about uptime.
I tell my friends that my SLA for my media server is Shit's Likely Available just so they understand that I give it out of generosity and don't want anything in return. The bonus is that keeping brutally honest upfront likely means less risk of me ruining someone's Friday movie night.
