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.

You can

a) Buy a usb hub with hdmi port, to connect to a monitor or tv

b) Either use hub from point a or bluetooth to connect keyboard and mouse or a joypad

c) Either use android if you want to make a tv box, for example, or a gaming console (with emulators or microsoft xcloud) or install Termux on Android or Linux directly to use it as a Linux server

d) If you want to connect via remote you can use Linux apps, if you installed Linux, or Android apps like Airdroid

This works even if something is wrong with the smartphone, for example I am using one with touchscreen no longer responding, since if works with hub from point a and a cable mouse.
