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.

If I set up my private instance for the purpose of interacting with other, popular, servers, can I save my comments locally? I'm referring to comments I make on another host, such as lemmy.ml I'm trying to understand if there is a way to keep my content in the event that the other server disappears.
I believe all comments on all communities you interact with are saved locally.
I just double-checked and logged into the psql docker container and yeah, your stuff is safely stored as well as all of the other content that is synced up. So, if you sync with [email protected] all of the stuff you see on the front-end will also be stored in your local database, including your own content of course. I do not think this includes images that were not uploaded on your instance.
Edit: now I'm not sure about the images, I checked the images folder and it's almost 1 gigabyte. I've uploaded 0 images. Not sure if it's a cache or if they stay there forever.
