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.

Kinda. It's kinda like a VM, but is more integrated with the host system so less overhead is required. A full VM, on the other hand, requires more overhead because it emulates everything, including the CPU, memory, storage controller, etc etc.
This should help explain it:
I like to run Docker stacks (via
docker compose- believe me, it's absolutely worth the headache to learn YAML) within VMs that are dedicated specifically to Docker and nothing else. It's much easier to handle Docker stacks this way, especially if you're a tinkerer, that way when you inevitably fuck up your Docker co fig, you can just blow away the VM and start from scratch without having to rebuild your entire server 😅
