Selfhosted

40201 readers

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.

Hello, I want to self host an instance so I'm only beholden to myself and the military forces that watch all. I only have one rule, and don't care much for moat things, but I'd like to create safe and friendly place for people like me

Thanks! What's clone repo mean tho? I generally use vpn, I think that should be default systems globally if humans get shit together

If this is your level of experience, I would heavily caution against running an instance.

every comment you make is just supporting that you shouldn't be trying to self-host an instance. you lack all the knowledge necessary to do so.

if you're really stubborn about it, your best bet would be paying someone with the proper knowledge to do it for you.

That's worth considering. How much would it be?

I would like to also create one just to learn how it all works, being that I am as novice as you all think, and would like to learn hands on. But my main concern is founding a haven. That's the only goal I have.

It's a feature of Git. Read up on git/GitHub before you try to tackle this.
