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.

Same, I'm all for complicated things that only I know how to use but the keys to the kingdom shouldn't be one of those when there are laypeople relying on me.

I still have to figure out how to let those people in when needed, I'm thinking writing the master password and the backup code on a paper that lives in a drawer, maybe in a "break in case of emergency" box, etc.

Curious what's the best way to mitigate the wrong person getting that, but I think if you have to worry about someone breaking in your house who is also looking for that info, then you have a different threat profile to consider, and the above calculus doesn't apply.

Bitwarden offer the option to set up an emergency contact.

You choose someone to be an emergency contact, it means that if they want they can request access to view your passwords.

When they send a request you receive several emails to warn you and after X (you can choose the amount) days if you don't do anything they get access to your account.
