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.

Bitwarden. I don't self host it, though. $10 a year for password management and 2FA is fine by me.
I'm on the same plan, I do plan to self host it though as a backup only.
It's niche but I like to point it out whenever I get the opportunity: if your workplace uses Bitwarden Enterprise, every licensed user gets a free family plan that can be linked to any account. I haven't personally paid for BW for years.
Same. Self hosting it sounds nice, and I self host a handful of services, but I don't want to be stuck without passwords in another country with a dead server at home because a power cut happened at some point.
Bitwarden caches your vault to your device, so you don't actually need a live connection to the server.
I had fault in my server this summer and my local bitwarden app wouldn't work without the connection. Same in my laptop, if the connection is blocked by the firewall it doesn't let me load the vault at all.
Oh, that's actually good to know. I guess it makes sense for when you don't have a good connection as well.
As I've seen gaming server subscriptions go from £36/y to £23/m (Xbox) in a few years, and cloud CCTV storage from £40/y to £16/m (Google via acquisition of Nest) in a few months, I say we count our stars when a subscription cost remains fair.
