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.

Your self righteous answer, is why Linux will never be a viable solution on the desktop. Or in this case why self hosting will never take off.
Don't worry, the Microsoft support forums don't lack self righteous answers either. I won't talk about about desktop Linux because that has nothing to do with this thread and has a plethora of other issues as to why it won't take off but specifically self hosting won't take off because it never meant to. We will never get to a point in our lives where 100% (or hell, even 10%) of the population are proficient enough in how a computer works to self host their own software stack, and that is okay. If you self-host services make them available to your friends and family. Never thought that self-host was a movement of some sort where we're trying to convert people who rely on centralized products into self hosting gurus, guess that's a first for me.
Has been pretty viable for me for the last 7 years or so.
Literally who cares, the community stands to gain nothing from another few million novice users who don't even know or care to learn how to formulate a question or usable bug report.
Lol OK
