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.

Hi, I have a xiaomi mi a3 that I don't use and I'm wondering if it is possible to use it for selfhosting. (piped, nextcloud...)

Tried to host a pihole with distrobix some time ago, eventually it just stopped responding sadly. I want a debian server that I can ssh into, it's the bare minimum to host stuff IMO. Tmux is great, but I use it as a client, not a server.

Best case would be to trash the whole android os and somehow get a real Linux distro running headless (I know android is technically Linux, but it does not count)

isnt the supported kernel a critical question for most android phones?

Not Sure. But it doesn't mean anything when is I can't get a proper distro to boot.

yes actually this is what I mean. although android is linux, any distro wont run on the device

would gentoo be an option as everything is compilled?

Postmarketos seems like the best distro for that kind of thing, you compile your kernel yourself too for that distro.
