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.

It really depends on what you're trying to achieve. If you're just trying to install a web server, then I'd recommend downloading XAMPP if you're on Windows, or if you're on Linux, you probably already have apache or nginx. To access services on those servers you're just going to have to find out the IP address of the server, and type it out in the browser (f.e. http://192.168.0.1/my_service). Those services should be available only on the same local network the server is on, unless you do port forwarding.
