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.

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

I'm trying to install Linkwarden and I want to make sure I get the storage right so that if I have to move the data to another VM, it is easy to do. If I use the default compose file, will it simply create a ./data ./pgdata and ./meili_data folders in the same folder where the docker compose file is? Which of course is very handy as then I have the compose, the .env and the data all in one place. Is this a good way of managing docker volumes? The install docs here say that I can also set a STORAGE_FOLDER variable in the .env file which by default is /data. But does this mean that the default is in the root directory of the host?

Unrelated: I recommend vaultwarden, an open source community fork in rust. Works great with official bitwarden apps and extensions.
