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 writing my own novice guide to setting up a home server, the stuff I wish I'd been told when I started. Would love feedback from beginners on how useful this is, as well as feedback from veteran self-hosters on how accurate this is, and I welcome suggestions from anyone about what I should add next.

update: tweaked the introduction a bit, corrected title to match header, added note about podman-compose v1.0.6 incompatibility.

update: major update, v0.9.2 here

You'd need to log into your router to see if it's enabled. Assuming you've got standard consumer grade stuff, it's likely on by default because it makes things like console multiplayer 'just work's without needing someone to go in and port forward stuff.

Before I built my home network, any Linksys/Netgear/etc router I used had that disabled when I was doing my initial setup.
