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.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Sorta like how people complain about bots scraping Lemmy, even though federation already exists as a standardized protocol for distributing data. Like any scraper who wanted to efficiently scrape Lemmy would just spin up their own instance and let federation do the scraping for them. It would even have the added benefit that they could set their server to ignore delete requests, so deleted posts/comments wouldn’t get automatically removed from their server. And then they could scrape as much as they wanted without impacting anyone else.
But they don’t want to do that, because it would require the smallest modicum of forethought. They don’t care that scrapers are trashing the Internet and causing massive bandwidth issues for hosters. They just want the data, and they want it now. All of those “bots are flooding my server and eating all my bandwidth, so legitimate users can’t actually access the site” complaints are for other people.
