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:

  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.

I sort of get it. When you self host mastodon or lemmy, you have to deal with the moderation that comes with it. That's a headache unless you have a ton of free time. Judging by the age distribution, I'm guessing most of us just want things to work so we can do what we enjoy.

@CosmicTurtle0 hosting a single user federated blog is also an option, you are only responsible for yourself and your friends you host. Not necessary to host public.

federated blog

I wonder what federated blog (or publishing platform) isn't stuck in pre-Docker era, though.

@𝘋𝘪𝘳𝘬

pre-Docker era

you mean bare metal deployments?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah. While I can dockerize those applications, all I checked out lack modern features and concepts/designs. It all feels heavily outdated technology-wise.

@𝘋𝘪𝘳𝘬 I think thats the fun of it, different people building tools as per their knowledge/requirements, with time i'm sure someone will make something that you might find suitable :)

Not just moderation, but you are responsible for all content on your server, some of which may be illegal and hosting it is a IRL crime, but the sheer size of it is impossible to filter.

Happy Cake Day (Are we doing this here on Lemmy?)

You can run those as single-user instances or with approval of users so you can use those instances for your family and/or friends only.
