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 understand your perspective, but that's just how the world is today as you can see.

Our terms are flexible, allowing you to pause or cancel your subscription whenever necessary. It's not like some shady lock-in gym contract that has to run for x months before you can cancel and auto-renews without your consent.

While I acknowledge that recurring costs can add up, this model is essential for sustainable business operations today. Predictable monthly revenue is crucial for planning and growth. Just subscribe to things you need, like or want to support and unsubscribe from things you dont need. For most of our users and compared to other services, our pricing is affordable, with 5€ being easily manageable on a monthly basis, or 50€ annually if you want to save 10€.

Oh and again... noone forces you to buy this. And you can bypass it if you want to. They're just goodies. The core features of GameVault and everything you've used up until today will always remain free.
