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.

A WD? I also like living dangerously.gif 😊

I kid of course. It could be absolutely appropriate depending on the data and budget.

It is absolutely a dangerous life lol.

I keep everything backed up. It was a temporary purchase that I fully did not expect to last 5 years.

It's literally been a clicker since day 1 lol.

No failures. No slow reads. Just a zombie beast.
