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.

What's the usage scenario for a portable router? I've never really understood the benefits of one.
I use a gl.inet Mango for work. I'm a field tech for industrial machines, I connect the router to the machine's LAN (if it doesn't have a switch, the two ports on the Mango come in handy, I just insert it in an existing connection) and I have wireless to the PLCs, allowing me to walk around the installation to check things with my laptop.
Bonus point for the wifi client that allows me to connect to a customer's wifi or my phone's hotspot and also have internet on my laptop for mails, etc.
The other day I used it to connect to three different subnets on three machines, one on one port, and two on the other with a switch, again with wifi client for internet.
That's a cleaver solution to a problem that brings lots of quality of life benefits to your job. Kudos!
