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.

Well, I'm very explicitly not running it with the intent of it getting larger than maybe a couple dozen people I know who are interested. I'm not really interested in content moderation at any scale, let alone with random people I don't know from the internet. (My most recent job was dealing with content & abuse for a large cloud provider, and I have zero interest in picking up shitpost babysitting if it's avoidable.)
I'm otherwise going with the Mastodon Server Covenant as the basic guidelines: I've got a trusted friend I'm going to add as a 2nd admin, doing backups nightly, and at least a 90 day notice if/when I decide to stop hosting this.
I'd happily transfer the domain & data to anyone who wants to continue to admin it, or ask the community members what they want done.
I'll admit that makes WAY less sense if I wanted to run an instance with thousands of users, but that's very much not the goal.
