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.

What advantages would this give over plain Debian or similar? I'm a total noob, so I'd love something that might help me get a little more out of my little netbook 'server'.
Check out their website; it’ll do a better job of explaining than I can/will.

Thanks, I'll check it out.
It's a great OS. Ran it for a long time
dietPi is in fact Debian, with extra scripts to install/remove software. They also thinned it way down, so you get a working system with the bare essentials.
Would it be worth switching if I'm already set up on Debian?
If you're all set up on Debian, I don't see the advantage of switching to another flavor of Debian, unless you have a low powered machine (low specs, not much RAM).
Then I'll conseder it when I'm feeling productive. I am using an old netbook. Thanks for the answers.
