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.

Does anyone know of a service that saves and manages bookmarks and links. Like one that would work from android/ipad/desktop.

Is this a thing?

Alright I think I'm sold.

Next cloud question:

*I'm new to this stuff.

Do you have insight on having 'cloud drives' encrypted for different users? I wanted to have my own personal next cloud space for me, encrypted and backed up to a USB drive, but I also want one for my parents and family. I want these to be accessible via smb/natively as network drives.

Have an a quick eli5 or something you think I should look into?

  • With Nextcloud you have the option to encrypt the data at rest Nextcloud - Encryption.
  • it's the same as hosting your Google Drive, you juste have to create different user and it won't be shared between user, except if you share them...
  • for backups, I would suggest you look at eather Plugins or do your own rsync. If you go serious about this, donc forget the 3-2-1 Backup Strategy
  • To have access as network drive, theirs always the possibility to install it as a Desktop app. Or you could mount a network drive with Nextcloud and use it as an 'interface' to see the drive.

As for a guide... Google, YouTube is your friend... Theirs those if you want to start

My personal advice, if you setup as a docker, use an external database and not the one provided within the docker, it might break when you'll update Nextcloud.
