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:

  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.

You may have noticed a few of my posts here, I am very interested in self-hosting and what advice can you give to a newbie? maybe some literature, video, I don’t know~

I also like to keep a text editor open and paste everything I’m doing, as I do it, into that window. Clean it up a little, and you’ve got documentation for when you eventually have to change/fix it.

Smart stuff that is leaving me feeling dumb for not having thought of it myself, shell history is a poor substitute.

For linux this is as easy as script , ex:
[user@fedoragaming ~]$ script 20240313InstallingJellyfin.log
Script started, output log file is '20240313InstallingJellyfin.log'.
[user@fedoragaming ~]$ exit
exit
Script done.

edit: and for Windows I recommend using putty, it can also save sessions to logs.
