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.

Your comment is spot on. e2ee is critical when there is server side replication or when you are using a public server, but neither is typically the case with Databag. e2ee imposes some limitations such as preventing server side processing of content which is useful for streaming. In my opinion e2ee is needed when you don't know where the content resides, but when you do it's overkill.
