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.

And just for a friendly reminder: oracle is hardly the only cloud provider that will boot you for being suspicious, according to the parameters they've determined as suspicious. Everyone does it and automating detection and mitigation is the path pretty much everyone at the medium or larger scale has taken and thus you're at the whims of a bot and an agent whose training is almost certainly to look at the score they have and then tell you no.
You should ALWAYS keep backups when renting someone else's computer's basement because even the "good" providers can decide you're a problem and boot you with no recourse.
That said I've used them for nearly a year and a half with no issues, but I also signed up from the US, with a non-debit/non-prepaid card, haven't used a VPN to access their services, and aren't running VPNs or proxies or torrents or portscanning or anything like that on the instances themselves.
...but I do at least once-a-day backups because even if you stay within their rules, there's nothing saying Larry can't decide tomorrow they're not going to offer this anymore and rug pull.
