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.

If I have a home server connected to Proton Drive for example, would that be sufficient to back up my data?

Thanks for your point of view. All of my services are containers that have config and data folder bind mounted from an encrypted partition. After power on, a script download from a website half of the key needed to decrypt data, the other half is in the boot partition. In this way if my server gets stolen I can delete the half key stored on the website and the data disk can't be decrypted. About swap, you're right, but that doesn't worry me at all since I don't think that there's anybody that would goes into that trouble just for my data. If someone is able enough and takes the trouble to read it, I guess that's going to be the last of my problem: it would mean that I'm already in biiiiig troubles! 😆
