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.

I buy it.
As it turns out, a couple of months ago when a laptop crapped out at an inopportune time, I needed to retreat to a much older machine with barely enough memory to keep a browser running all day. As I tried to work out a recovery plan for the things that didn't seem properly backed up (they were, just not where I expected them), I remembered that I had a couple of old Raspberry Pi units that I never did much with, and decided that could take the load off of the laptop if I tossed them in the corner.
So far, I have Code Server to substitute for Visual Studio Code, Cryptpad for Libre Office, Forgejo just because I really should have done that a long time ago, Fresh RSS for a rotating list of RSS readers since I dropped my Internet-accessible Tiny Tiny RSS installation, Inf Cloud and Radicale for a calendar/address book, Jellyfin that used to run on the then-in-use old laptop, Snappy Mail for Thunderbird and the bunch of heavy webpages from mail providers, YaCy because I've wanted to use it more for many years, and a few others.
Moving onto a more functional computer, I decided to keep the servers running, because the setup works about as well as the desktop setups that I've run for years, if I use a few pinned tabs. I'm sure that I'll scream about it when something goes wrong, but it does the job...
