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.

Hey all,

I'm kind of new to self hosting, and currently repurposing my old PC as a home server. I already set it up to run nginx in docker, so I can use SSL on every website. The next thing for me would be to set up some kind of persisent workspace, that I can access from everywhere (specifically my ipad). I already had a look at kasm, but it looks to overkill. What i want:

  • Persisent workspace, independent from Ubuntu server
  • Some kind of Linux distro with a known package manager
  • accessible through browser, or iPad app
  • multiple users?
  • password protected

Thanks,

As others have mentioned, workspace is too vaguely defined for good answers. FWIW, I use the Blink Shell app on iOS to ssh into my server and/or computers from my iPad for my command line workspace. I also use my iPad to access/use many of the services I’m self hosting.

If you’re looking for a gui/DE, then something like guacamole would suit you better.
