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.

thanks for replying
yes i will leave it on for days that i want to use that instance
The issue is once you turn it off, the federation attempts by other instances will fail and the software has an increasing „back off“ mechanic. That means after the first failed attempt the instances will wait eg an hour before reattempting federation, then two, then four, then eight, etc. this means if you turn it only on when you want to use it, your federation will only kick in after a huge amount of hours. That makes no sense, sadly.
