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.

Hmm I see.. Probably because popularity is either Debian or RHEL forks when it comes to servers.. Yeah that's the good thing about open source is inter-compatibility I guess.

BTW this Alpine thing is still under testing personally.. I still need to achieve long term stability. I still am hopeful after what I've been reading from other's experiences.. Thanks!

Right. Do your testing. Nothing here is black and white only. And everyone has different requirements, and it's also hard to get own requirements right.
Plus they even change over time. I've used Debian before with all the services configured myself, moved to YunoHost, to Docker containers, to NixOS, partially back to YunoHost over the time... It all depends on what you're trying to accomplish, how much time you got to spare, what level of customizability you need... It's all there for a reason. And there isn't a perfect solution. At least in my opinion.
