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've been creating separate accounts for some of my selfhosted services, some are to further sub-divide the data, but for sure I always have an admin account and the account I use day to day.

What's your account creation schema?
What do you think about creating multiple accounts for your selfhosted services?

I have two services that my main account has zero admin rights on: gitlab and nextcloud. Both have, potentially, sensitive data owned by others. I've put massive passwords and MFA on both of those admin accounts. I figure if someone somehow harvests the session data or passwords and cracks 2fa on my account, that's the only one that will be affected.
