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

I absolutely feel your pain. However, there is also the side that all this complexity must be handled somehow. The other extreme is that you'd have to compile all the software and its dependencies from scratch, as well as read and understand the source code.
In the end, it boils down to the people who actually care (like you, who is probably one of them) to exercise caution—looking at the output of
curl https://some.rando.url/install.shbefore doing the| sudo bash -cand constantly insisting on the validity and absolute necessity of signature checks, transparency, and so on. Meanwhile, all the other folks get at least a foothold in self-sovereignty without being completely smashed by the details of compiler flags.
