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 (donβt cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

It's better if you struggle, you will learn more that way. For me, the struggle is the fun part anyway. Also, if you need these services to be bulletproof you probably shouldn't be self-hosting them.
I don't. Not yet, anyway.
It seems like you have a learning preference for conversational information transfer. Maybe try finding a discord group where people regularly talk about this kind of thing. People on Internet forums tend to prefer written documentation and value search engine prowess.
Written documentation that I can make sense of is fine. Documentation that's written with a bunch of industry jargon and acronyms, not so much.
So, most of us aren't in the industry yet we managed to learn the jargon we needed to learn in order to do what we wanted to do. I don't understand why you are adamant about others helping you when you don't really seem to care enough to learn some words and their meanings.
What did I say that gave you the impression that I was "adamant" about this?
Maybe you struggled and spent hours trying to research all of this. That's something I'd like to avoid. I'd like to make better use of my time.
I don't know about you but I enjoy helping others learn. I volunteer my time to help people fix their vehicles all the time. I don't just tell them "Google it and figure it out". I walk them through it and try to explain it in terms they can understand, and help them learn more in the process. I don't understand why this frustrates so many people.
Several other people have already volunteered so you can just go away now, thanks.
