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.

I think the reason we aren't rich is because we do shit like this.

Anyway, I'm off to buy enough HDDs to get me through the end of the month.

You’ll be surprised how cheap some equipment goes for when a company runs out of business. Just sayin

I’ve been trying to hunt down cheap used network equipment lately. It’s a weird thing to be disappointed that there aren’t any failing businesses around me :(

I’m about to make an 8 hour round trip drive for a cheap server rack this coming weekend. Please send help.
