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.

Exactly. Pop OS is funded by hardware sales (though they do accept donations as well).

I'm pretty sure that Pop OS isn't the product but I absolutely see what you are saying. I'm talking about things like commercial support for companies and maybe some sort of user facing service but I'm not sure how that would work.

Yeah that works as well. Matrix is supported that way. As does Rocket Chat and I'm sure plenty of others.

The sad part about Matrix is that it isn't supported, it is used. I think the blame is about 50/50. Users should donate and the leadership shouldn't of assumed that companies would give them money.
