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.

Interesting idea. I wonder if there's any such local / regional service out there. I imagine they would have to have "real people" customer service to make that work. Not sure what that would be worth to most people / cost to run as a business.
I‘m attempting to do exactly that for my local community atm. Most people are still reluctant though.
Sweet! Tell me more about how you're trying to do that and how you're seeing reluctance, please.
I‘m self employed in IT and host a couple services for people. Small, local business.
My experience so far is that few outside of IT understand why big tech isnt a viable option and even fewer are willing to accept that imperfection when it comes to services that have a proprietary option.
Obviously its pretty early in the game so I guess this will get better and I‘m also not complaining, just stating that peeps need more time and education on this matter.
