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 am not personally using these all-in-one solutions, but Casa OS has been posted frequently in this sub; Cosmos Server seems to have many more features than that.

Oh my god, thank you! This changes everything for me and my planning. I was just starting to look into authentication and properly securing my stuff and was feeling overwhelmed. This adds the features I need without locking me in unlike pretty much all the other alternatives I've looked at. No need to refactor my setup much at all, and if I want more granular control of an aspect I can, seemingly, easily decouple that part. Just fantastic. I wouldn't even call this a all-in-one solution, since it can build on top, it doesn't need to be all.

Did you consider keeping the services closed to the outside world and using tailscale to access them? Doesn't work well if you want to give access to a bunch of people, though.

It's that grant access part that meant I need a refactor. I want to start hosting our photos and other media and while tailscale and similar sort of work OK for that it's not ideal for multiple users and mobile devices work but not as smooth etc.
