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).

Greetings,

my current ISP refuses to provide me a static IP and they also blocks incoming connection to my ipv6 so I can't host services on just ipv6 too. I will be changing my ISP when the plan expires.

without public IP I can host my own IRC bouncer but I would like to know what else can I self host? Thanks in advance!

Why do you need to make a question questioning OP needs, when he is looking for a solution to a problem?

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 6 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Because of the XY problem. The problem OP is stating may not actually be the source of the issues OP is experiencing.

Finding out what OP is trying to do will better inform a solution and may make the stated problem irrelevant.

Good point, but did it solve anything?

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 hours ago

OP doesn't seem to have responded, so no, but that's not the fault of the question.

The question behind the question

[–] bluGill@fedia.io 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Because too often people are asking for a solution to the wrong problem. I can tell how to setup a car to drive from the Hawaii to Iceland, but odds are that is not your actual goal. (most often the correct answer is fly to iceland and rent a car, or perhaps just public transit in iceland. You can also put your car on a ship. It is possible to modify a car to drive on the ocean if that is really what you want to do)

Darn, i really wanted to drive to Iceland, now, you are downplaying my needs. I feel offended! /s

I'm not stopping you. However make sure you understand what you want to do and why it isn't recommended in general. It looks like an interesting project that I hope to read about sometime (hopefully not as a you sunk to the bottom of the ocean)

Because they are trying to blow off there own foot.
