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.

I'm having a problem with one of the apps that interacts with something I'm hosting. Alternative apps aren't having the same problem and neither is the webpage UI. Having purchased the app, I emailed the developer for some help and they said they didn't know what the issue was and that it could probably fix it if they could access my server. I'm not really comfortable with that though. Should I be?

I completely understand, but how will they access it? Over something like teamviewer where you can also see the screen and control the mouse keyboard would be preferable to ssh access where you have no idea whats happening until it’s over.

On the other hand, whatever he’s going to do he should hopefully know beforehand, otherwise it just sounds like a fishing session to try a few things.
