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.

Simply put,from the users perspective it's like IPFS but with the possibility to change the data without changing (and thus having to redistribute) the link.

It's also easy to set up and the sharing of data is not based on benevolent nodes but reciprocal sharing.

On a side note, it doesn't use any crypto or similar and is 100% decentralised and FOSS.
