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.

This is a me thing and not related to this video specifically, but I absolutely hate that we've settled on "homelab" as a term for "I have software in some computer I expose to my home network".
It makes sense if you are also a system administrator of an online service and you're testing stuff before you deploy it, but a home server isn't a "lab" for anything, it's the final server you're using and don't plan to do anything else with. Your kitchen isn't a "test kitchen" just because you're serving food to your family.
Sorry, pet peeve over. The video is actually ok.
yea never liked the term much either.
while we're venting, self-hosting isnt a great term either. it should just be 'hosting' and the 'self' part should be self explanatory because it would be madness to have someone else host it for you!
remote-hosting still has some uses in some cases of course :)
In the context of this community and the movement in general, ‘self-hosting’ is designed to contrast against the larger trend of “let me just trust one of the big cloud companies with all my stuff”. We’ve seen how that can go very, very wrong. So, the idea of maintaining control of your data and the methods by which it is accessed is the heart of ‘self-hosting’. It’s not meant to restrict one to only computers stored in one’s home.
