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 gone through a lot of hosting service providers and unfortunetly cannot find a single one that can be used without running nonfree programs, all of them require loading bulky obfuscated JavaScript apps.

I know of Codeberg Pages for static sites for example, but it is not suitable for any business or professional use.

Dreamhost

Or buy a domain somewhere like Gandy or namecheap and host the website on a VPS somewhere

Gandy or namecheap

I'm pretty sure they require proprietary client-side scripts to function as well.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I never needed anything with Gandy to register a domain. I don't see why one would either.

JavaScript. Your browser downloads and runs it automatically and the vast majority of people either don't consider it a problem at all or just accept that they can't choose what software they run on their computer. This person apparently wants to avoid websites with proprietary JavaScript if possible.

Yeah they explained themselves after, wasn't clear from the original post when I posted.
