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.

- selfh.st Newsletter and index of selfhosted software and apps

The rules now are generally: bare metal if that's all the box will do, or it's main task, container if it's one of many services, vm if it's a larger application you might migrate and i/o isn't your limitation.
The line between container and vm is fuzzy, but bare metal means you're making a design choice for that machine and if that or another application breaks the machine you're screwed.
In a way freebsd is amazing for this, you put all applications in jails and don't use the main userspace much, but the virtualiztion story isn't quite there yet.
