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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Thanks for you detailing your experience.I am very interested in CapRover! I do not quite understand databases and Docker containers though. The one click WordPress deployment has a db version. What of Moodle, Nextcloud or Invoice Ninja though? Do they need their own containerised databases or can I just use MyPHPadmin to import all my current Mysql databases from my current shared hosting in the same db once the WP one click install is done? Also, would it be possible to setup a cron job to backup to a storage drive plugged into a home router? Thanks!
