Selfhosted

44289 readers

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 know for many of us every day is selfhosting day, but I liked the alliteration. Or do you have fixed dates for maintenance and tinkering?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

This post is proudly sent from my very own Lemmy instance that runs at my homeserver since about ten days. So far, it's been a very nice endeavor.

Find something that interests you, and look at the docs of how to get started. It literally is the easiest way to learn and get involved in self hosting

Here's a list of self-host/foss/Linux YouTubers. Check them out. I've learned SO much from them:

  • Veronica Explains
  • Network Chuck
  • Jim's Garage
  • Andrea Borman
  • Awesome Open Source
  • Techno Tim

I can add links to each but searching should find them easily

To add:

  • Jeff Geerling
  • Raid Owl
  • Hardware Haven
  • Apalrd Adventures
  • BeardedTinker
  • Craft Computing

I follow these and some other I can’t think of the name right now, but some great resources!

Wow, thanks! I couldn't find Andrea Bowman, it shows me some video about criminal cases! 😆

It would have helped if I got her name right Andrea BoRman
