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.

This is interesting. I already just keep a collection of markdown files.. might as well make it an internal documentation site so it's easier to browse 🤔
I'm using anytype.io, it's been pretty neat so far.
Any chance you wouldn't mind sharing the SSL renewal doc? Redacted of course. Mine is coming up and I'd like to do it correctly this time. :)
I have a git repo for it, needless to say. And so README.md plus a network diagram from https://app.diagrams.net/
Why not push it up to GitHub? Then you also get a commit history to see your changes overtime.
Seems a lot of people are doing that.
I run a local MediaWiki appliance from turnkeylinux, super easy to spin up in proxmox.
Comments inside the docker-compose.yml
files?
I know that I would keep forgetting to update the docs, so my documentation are the ansible playbooks and docker-compose.yaml files that I use to set it all up.
That leaves anything that has to be done in some Ui undocumented, so I try to keep that to a minimum, which isn't always easy (I'm looking at you authentik!).
I deploy as much as I possibly can via Ansible. Then the Ansible code serves as the documentation. I also keep the underlying OS the same on all machines to avoid different OS conventions. All my machines run Debian. The few things I cannot express in Ansible, such as network topology, I draw a diagram for in draw.io, but that's it.
Also, why not automate the certificate renewal with certbot? I have two reverse proxies and they renew their certificates themselves.
I use Ansible, Docker, and Emacs OrgMode files committed to Git. Diagrams are a mix of Miro and Graphviz. There's also a few markdowns in there too. Joplin is used for rough notes only.
Hackmd.io for simple markdown docs.
Some stuff is in Joplin, some stuff is in wiki.js. Joplin lacks organization features. Wiki.js stores stuff in database and has problems with search, both are possible to fix, I believe...
Occasionally I remember about problems with this setup, but I'm too lazy to fix or replace it
