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.

Projects like Runtipi have potential for the masses, imo. Single click deployment of apps on your own server....if you can get Runtipi installed first, of course. But hey, a step closer I suppose.
I'm very new to selfhosting, only started in earnest in April of this year. So I definitely felt the hosts frustrations in deploying (or trying to deploy) solutions I wanted to take back from Google and Microsoft. I'm still learning and am almost to the point where I'm comfortable pulling the plug on Google photos entirely. But it's a lot of research for newbs.
The problem with those projects like Runtipi is the same you've with Docker - you'll be hostage to yet another platform that can fuck you up at any moment without notice... like Docker hub did.
Wait, what did Docker Hub do?

You shouldn't be hostage to a platform. Before Docker we didn't have those kinds of issues APT repositories are easy to mirror and they're not run by for profit companies.
Are there any docker FOSS alternatives? It sounds like a good thing in practice but yeah, they seem to have too much power atm.

Exactly my point.
