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'm unsure about the end-to-end encryption aspect. While this feature is great for a cloud service like ente.io, it doesn't really help much in a selfhosted scenario - and might make backups more complicated. Any other opinions on this?

Would probably be trivial for a local authority to hack your server and collect the necessary info that way.

I mean that's the main reason I self-host anyway.

Remotely hacking into my server is probably harder than just walking into my home with a warrant and confiscate everything.

  1. Yes but then they need to get a warrant.

  2. All the more reason to have it encrypted since they can't access it even with a warrant and confiscation.
