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.

Could you give somd examples of something to selfhost? I am only really aware of selfhosting lemmy and other fediverse stuff
Replace existing online services you use with self hosted ones.
So, I'm not new to this (omg it's been 6+ years now wtf) but I don't host a lot of stuff, and it's been pretty easy to poke at; I've got:
Running in docker containers, along with a few of the built-in plug-and-play services on my nas. Of that list, plex, minecraft, freshrss, rustdesk, and vaultwarden were very easy to setup in my situation. Rustdesk is a really good remote control program/service, vaultwarden is a fork of the bitwarden server, and plex was almost comically simple to get going as a media host.
I'm still getting my pieces together for my first server but I'm definitely gonna look into actual!
You could set up a dns based ad-blocker like pihole and a vpn like wireguard to tunnel your phone back into your home network so you have ad-blocking on the go, too. That's a semi beginner protect with plenty of tutorials to pick from.
You could run nextcloud, syncthing, or immich to make your own cloud at home but that might need more than a basic pi setup.
I actually set up pihole today!
It's a great software to run. I like to watch youtube tutorials that explain things step by step so i can understand what happens. If i find a good video i'll see what other software that channel may have a tutorial on and if that software may interest me.
