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.

I love self-hosting software. Next to this Lemmy server, I host 10 other Fediverse servers. And of course a lot of tools I use for myself or work.
You're the admin of Lemmy.World? Thanks for hosting this place. What got you into self-hosting?
You're welcome.. I've been using computers for around 40 years now, and love trying out new software. That evolved in trying out self-hosted software.. even into self-hosting nearly everything. I'm reverting some of that at the moment, don't want to self-host family stuff anymore because of continuity, but the rest I keep installing and trying everyting.. :-)
I pay for a hosting plan for my email for that reason. I should find a cheaper email centric option but SURELY I'll do something with those 2 other domain slots I paid for..........one day >.>
I'm not sure I'm a true self-hoster as I only host a Plex server, but happy to be here reading about the cool stuff other people do!
Won’t be long before you discover sonarr, radarr, overseerr, prowlarr etc and realise you need docker containers and maybe proxmox and it just goes on.
It’s great fun to tinker, come back in a couple of months and tell us what you’ve set up.
Thanks for setting this up for those of us leaving Reddit! Looking to be able to contribute.
