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.

Do you need a domain name if you are hosting a Lemmy instance, or will it work fine with just an ip-address + port (e.g. <username>@<ip-address>:<port>)?

Is imagine the rest of the fediverse will refuse to connect tho.

But wouldn't that be the certificate of the other instance, not your local one?

As others mentioned other things need to connect to your instance so valid ssl matters

Since AP servers both accept incoming connections and make outgoing connections, both sides need valid certificates to do HTTPS.

Alright, wasn't aware it needed to be both sides
