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.

Text is copied to your instance's database, but any images are hosted on the other instances and simply linked to. Worst case scenario, you get told to delete something that's illegal in the country in which you host the instance, you comply, and everything's peachy.
Edit: That being said, I'm currently hosting an instance for myself and a few friends, and it's been smooth-sailing. Just make sure to require email verification or admin approval for new sign-ups (or disable them entirely) if you don't want to be overrun with bots.
Yes I'd only be allowing people I know personally to create accounts. No other registration would be allowed. The last thing I'd want to be is another one of those bot filled instances that have been popping up.
