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.

My lemmy instance :)
I used to self-host email with email and postfix, but I gave up with the amount of spam coming my way and moved to Proton
I have considered renting a VPS and giving it a go as well! (Is that still considered selfhosting?)
Do you think all the federated content will require a ton of storage eventually? I can imagine that I will need beefier hardware as well as my instance grows, even if I’m the only user. Would love to hear about your experience.
Mine is actually also a VPS, my electricity is too unstable to host at home :')
It's pretty light though, 2GB RAM and 2vCPUs and about 10GB of space. It shot up to 9.5GB over a few days as people added more communities, then slowed down a lot. We have ~60 users as of now
