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.

Hey guys simple question: Do you use self hosting solutions like CasaOS or Yunohost? Why or why don't you?

This is more of a out of curiousity question since I am currently experimenting with different setups. ATM I prefer self hosting solutions because of the easiness of adding services.

I'm a tinkering nerd, so I like to have a headless Linux box.

I did use self hosting operating systems in the beginning, and they're nice. However, when I tried just a plain Ubuntu headless install, I felt way more accomplished after getting everything working.

Yeah I started with a headless Ubuntu server and it was real nice. I’m finally ready to leave Ubuntu though and want to switch to a headless NixOS server.

Nixos! Nixos! Nixos!

Exactly this, nothing against tools like these, but I'm in it for the learning so I want to get as DIY as possible.

And yeah, it's super satisfying to see it all come together.
