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:

  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.

If only there was a way to fund open source projects so we both could have better software for the world and paid employees..

I think you can guess which government body already do this. Just take a shot.

Big question is: how many of us are funding foss projects?

It isn't difficult, and with how popular some are, it wouldn't be long before the projects could hire one or more full time devs at good rates.

I support a few big projects I use every month through liberapay.

Liberapay is really nice. I like the payment options they have to minimize the fees, like making 2 years of small "monthly" payments in a single charge to your bank card.
