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.

I see Docker mentioned every other thread and was wondering how useful it is for non development things, and if so what they are.

Also, if server software running in a container gets compromised, hopefully the container can contain the compromise from spreading to the rest of the system.

Depends.

If there are no external volumes and the container is in its own network without any other containers, then any malware in the container shouldn't be able to reach / affect the host server, because it's isolated.

Even with external volumes, I don't think there should be any mechanism where a container can escape a bind mount to affect the rest of the host fs? I use bind mounts all the time, far more than docker volumes.
