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.

I just... don't see the benefit. I host videos so I can access video content even if my internet goes out, and it's a lot cheaper than paying for streaming. I host my own documents because I don't want big tech scraping all my data. I host my own budgeting software, again, because of privacy.
I could host Vaultwarden. I just don't really see the point, especially when my SO and I have a shared collection, and if that broke, my SO would totally blame me, and I don't think that's worth whatever marginal benefits there are to self-hosting.
Maybe I'll eat my words and Bitwarden will get hacked. But until then, stories like yours further confirm to me that not hosting it is better.
