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.

Figured I'd give Netbird a go, glad I did because I can self host extremely easily by using the new services feature.
You specify a subdomain, point to a peer, specify a protocol and port, and you are good. NetBird fetches you the certificate and your site goes live fast.
I can use my Immich with my mobile data now.
Edit: Note that I choose to self host NetBird, and haven't really used the service they provide all that much.
A lot of people are boycotting as many things from the U.S. as they can because of the warmongering paedophile, and his cadre of paedo crooks.
It's not exactly exciting to buy into products when you have that stinky orange mess breathing down your neck about how he's going to invade your continent and annex countries.
I am one of them. I am from Italy and simply do not want to support any US-based company any more, independently from their own stance on anything.
Aye, same. I'm Swedish. Not thrilled about the U.S. threatening to invade Greenland, or kidnapping heads of state. Denmark has been sucking up to the U.S. a lot through the years which goes to show that you can't trust the U.S., ever.
He does like to spread fear and doubt. That's one of his specialties. Yeah, countries enshitify too. LOL I can understand the sentiment you just expressed rather than the standard 'Tailscale metadata'. But if you want to take care of stinky orange man, you and your country will have to stand up to him. I'm doing the best I can from this end. LOL
Absolutely necessary to do more than voting with your wallet. Fascism is on the rise everywhere and we as societies need to actively engage with it and provide working alternative structures to prevent people to be drawn towards it.
Yeah, and looking at the history, unfortunately the end game is always violence. But we are nowhere near that yet, so sadly things are going to go where they are going for a while still.
