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 don't really have anyone else to shout at about this, but it's an amazing way to host services in rootless containers entirely in user space using systemd (systemctl --user).

I like them very much as well, only thing I'm annoyed about is that you always need to drag that --user option.... I mean, if I'm not using root or sudo, shouldn't it be clear that I'm talking about the user space?

Agreed! That would be a huge QoL improvement (and work just like the podman command does). Now I'm thinking about other commands that force this silliness, like pip.

I'll probably just make an alias
