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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Why disallow root login? I always need root when I connect, and stealing the password by aliasing sudo/doas is trivial. It seems to me it would just make life harder for no benefit.
Because then:
Use a secure password or key. Security by obscurity is no security.
That is not the point that was made. Once access to sudo or root you already have lost.
Defense in depth.
Anyone who's certified NET+ or higher knows this.

Does a great job actually explaining a lot of my points. And it is produced by an actual security auditor and researcher. Just because everyone is doing it does not make it a security benefit that matters.
