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 looking to run OpenClaw on my homelab. Has anyone successfully got it running with Docker? I followed the Docker instructions on their website, got Ollama running with a lightweight model, but couldn't get the openclaw dashboard working.

I was hoping to have it everyday, look through the hundreds of job alert emails I get, and output a list of jobs for me to apply for. It'll compare my resume to the listing, check the age of the listing, etc.

I know it's highly susceptible to prompt injection, but if I have it in a container, with a email made specifically for OpenClaw I'm hoping it will be relatively safe?

It appears the image runs as a non root user at least... You can drop unnecessary capabilities https://oneuptime.com/blog/post/2026-01-16-docker-drop-capabilities/view

You can also add firewall redfrictions to container to only allow it to connect to services you want to limit injection attacks.

This would help, but still could be open to a lot of security problems I'd imagine.
