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.

@republicofRAD @jaackf You can leave your own PC on, you can buy new hardware, or you can rent a server. Any of the above is a valid way to run your own services.
A low-end VPS (virtual private server) costs around $5 a month and can run plenty of stuff as long as it's not particularly heavy (no video hosting). Running a website on a VPS is a very common first entry to self-hosting, especially if you don't have stable internet at home.
But is VPS by definition not self hosting?
