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.

One warning: in my experience, you can not jump two major versions. Not just it won't work, but that if you try it everything will break beyond repair and you'll be restoring from a backup.

Two major versions can sometimes be a matter of a few months apart, so make sure you have a regular update schedule!

(Also, people say never update to a X.0 release, the first version of a major release often has major bugs).

TL;DR don't take too long to update to new releases, and don't update too quickly!

Also, the docker image is often a day or so behind the new release, soNextcloud tells you an update is available but often you then need to wait until the next day to get the updated docker image. I guess this is because (as I've just learnt) the image is built by Docker not Nextcloud.
