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.

The 6 nines mean that an ideal service should have 99,9999% uptime, right?

That's almost 32 seconds of downtime in a year!

If so, how much would it cost to do it? (Let's consider that is a marketplace site with 1000 daily users)

Sure. It just depends on how flexible your definition of "downtime" is.

Exactly. I think about an email hosting service. What does downtime mean exactly? Is the service down when you can send but cannot receive mail? Or when the service receives mail but it can't deliver it to your inbox? Nailing this down can be difficult, especially (in my experience) with the ones who decide where $$$ goes.
