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.

We’ve used trueCABLE here at work as well with good results, thanks for the specifics as I generally do most of the grunt work and am removed from the more technical aspects of the ordering so the details here are greatly appreciated.
The other thing I forgot to mention is that in my house at least, there's horizontal wood between the studs about half way up the wall. I guess as a fire block, like this: https://www.oneprojectcloser.com/fire-stops-fire-blocking-in-studs but thicker. That would have made it a lot harder for me to run cables to the attic, since I'd have to drill a hole through it. That and the fact that my attic isn't very tall (some parts of it are only a few feet tall) made the crawlspace the obvious choice.
I was also a bit scared drilling through the floor into the crawlspace and was worried I was doing something wrong since it was taking a while, but it turns out the subfloor is just very thick and so it takes a while to drill through it.
