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.

I'm a good chemist, but not IT advanced. Started using Debian out of the box last year on miniPC. Running Jellyfin only on that local machine. Don't understand coding, but copy/ paste terminal instructions from trusted sites. Have 1TB music, films and documents. Want to move all photos from Google.

I like YunoHost. That's an all-in-one solution to do the selfhosting for you. So you won't learn a lot about the intricate details of the tech, but you can install things with a few clicks. That's nice if you just want to use stuff. And that project has some track-record. I'm using it for years to self-host Peertube, Immich a Nextcloud and a few other things.

Thanks, bookmarked and depending upon my ability to learn, plus time available, this, or something like it may be the way for me.

+1 for yunohost, though it can be a slow solution. However it will get something up and running easily, provide certs etc. and let you start out on self-hosting. With a half decent old pc you can host a load of services. You could run your own lemmy instance for example. However a lot of newer things are often broken or fail to work in Yunohost (funkwhale and discourse are a couple of things that are beyond redemption)_

I take it back. Funkwhale is working again.... Discourse is gone for ever though as Discourse themselves only want docker installations moving forward
