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.

I have a limited 20Mbps upload speed but 16 TB of storage. I’m kinda just asking if there’s anything I can use it for. I’ll donate one purpose: seeding Anna’s Archive. Not sure on other causes.

All these speeds the providers advertise (especially the faster ones) are often cut down by bad peering. I often had an issue downloading bigger files from my storage when I was traveling. Only got some single digit MBit transfer speeds due to bad peering, while speed tests has shown decent results. When it comes down to Selfhosting the upload/download figures alone not always tell the truth. In my point of view 20Mbps is actually even sufficient for most of private stuff, even streaming HD content to one ore two peers simultaneously.
