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.

I've got to confess, I have for years been guilty if not reading the documentation. I simply go with the flow and hope it works...

But not anymore! And why the change you may ask? We'll, I'm reading the f..ing documentation on Rocky linux and I'm just blown away from the amount of great information!

If you've been guilty of not reading the documentation, let me me know what changed it for you

If you're not reading the documentation, this is your time to confess!

Oh it happens to the best of us. I was working on a simple cron the other day with the cron string that would insert the cron into my cron config something like 'echo' and the normal string you'd recognize, and ended with a '-'. I wasn't paying attention and issued the command which did insert itself into the cron config, but in a manner in which I didn't want. It replaced the whole cron file with that one string. #$@^$$ Luckily I have a cron to back up the crontabs.
