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.

I use a heterogeneous environment with some things hosted in various cloud providers and others locally. Often times, I can usually find the package I need - but if I can't, I usually go for Docker and docker-compose. This is often the case in Oracle Linux on OCI - where docker just makes things so much easier.
For my static stuff I just use Cloudflare Pages and forget about it.
On my homelab it is Arch Linux with my own set of scripts. I used to do VFIO gaming a lot (less now), so I had the host only be a hypervisor and used a separate Arch VM to host everything in a docker-compose stack. The VM makes my server operations a lot more tidy.
My RPI is using dietpi and is natively running the pihole software and a couple other things.
I know some folks swear by UnRaid and Proxmox, but I've always found those platforms limited me vs building things my way. Also borking my own system unintentionally on occasion is a thrilling opportunity to learn!
