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.

Another solution might be setting up Syncthing on all your computers. It would present as a folder on the local systems and anything put in there would be synced to the other systems. No logins required.

Upside: Easy as pie and can be used by anyone who has used Dropbox/OneDrive/GDrive/whatever

Downside: everyone gets a copy of every file regardless. Good luck getting rid of old files. Could be fine, though.
