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.

Recently, I've stumbled on more self-hosting projects that help out different communities/groups/non-profits. Examples:

  • RIPE Atlas Probe
  • Tor Snowflake (or relay)
  • Archive Team Warrior

With a hardware investment:

  • ADS-B Feeder (need SDR)
  • Weather Underground (need weather station)

What else is out there along these lines?

I'm less interested in things like CryptoCurrency nodes or mining (including things like Helium), or very resource-heavy things like Folding@home.

Iirc signal has something you can host for the communications of strangers.

I know you can set up a self-hosted Signal server, but I'm not aware of any relay/proxy type apps

[–] Neon@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

No, not a server. You can't even use those with the official App iirc

They mean proxies

Signal even made a blog post about it
