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.

Maybe. First you should check out https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_230 which explains websites generally aren't responsible for users posting their own content. However, that's not a clear protection from anything. If you end up with blatantly illegal material, you will be investigated and forced to turn over data, surrender equipment, etc. They would have to prove that you were aware and complicit, but it's generally not worth the trouble unless you're making money from it. That being said if you got a lawyer that is familiar with section 230 to look over a disclaimer and your intentions, you're probably fairly protected. Also, the smaller you are, generally you're much less likely of being targeted should something happen.
