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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

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

In the latest episode of "they will always sell you out" - they sold you out! Who would've thought.

Hoping for a good alternative client to appear, the writing is on the wall. Vaultwarden can't exist without "leeching" off of Bitwarden.

They’re also dragging their feet on passkey support

As... they... should, forever.

Two articles behind a paywall, one that won’t load, and another article that says the big problem with passkeys is…people are unfamiliar with them.

If anyone tells you that Passkeys are bad, they’re a liar. Way more safe than passwords, full stop.

Just don’t let Microsoft or Apple tie them to your device. You don’t have to do that.

Are you calling me a liar? That's pretty weird; it's not like I'm telling you to stick to passwords while I move to passkeys. With that said, though, get Bypass Paywalls Clean (Mozilla-only, as far as I know) and you'll never see another paywall again. I forgot about having that.

Just don’t let Microsoft or Apple tie them to your device. You don’t have to do that.

The problem is that this is where it's eventually going to lead to.

At the very least you're misguided or don't know what you're talking about. Passkeys are not vendor locked in and of themselves.

You can make the same argument against password managers because most iPhone users that use them, use Apple's one.

Not really, Vaultwarden/bitwa4den offer passkey support. When I log into a service a popup shows on my extension, I click it and I'm in. It's not gonna lead to device locking if you don't want to...
