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.

Beginner here. What do you mean by a Samba share? Do you mean a shared network folder? Or something more elaborate?

[–] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Yes they mean a SMB share. A type of network share that works (mostly) with Linux and windows.

do NOT open SMB to the internet. You will get crypto'd in minutes. Just a warning for any newbs coming here.
