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.

First post from my new, self-hosted, personal instance. Feels good!

Welcome to the club! I used the same easy deploy setup as you! Makes life really easy eh :)

Furthermore, to populate All, I have this one running: https://github.com/lflare/lemmy-subscriber-bot

If you do this, you will need some extra space because the database will grow, but I think it solves one of the (largest) downsides of running your own instance, namely discovering other communities.

Do you know how much disk space this will roughly use? Are we talking 10GB or 100GB or 1TB? Just roughly speaking.

Mine went from 8 gb to 20-ish gb. So not that much ;)

The latest really improves things space wise and cleans up better. Single instance here for almost a month. About 50-60 subscription’s and am at 2gb db size
