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 would like to scale back my hosting costs and migrate one (or a few) sites over to a machine that I host at home.

The bandwidth is more than enough to cover the traffic of these small sites.

The simplicity of IPv6 has attracted me to the idea of exposing that server over IPv6 for hosting, while my daily machines remain on the IPv4 side of the stack.

I don't care if this means that the sites are reachable by fewer visitors, as the traffic has never been huge.

Am I going down a rabbit hole that I will later regret? How would you do this right?
