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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I have a crawlspace, I can go straight through the floor. I also already have a nice tight grommet for routing cables to/from the server closet too, which makes it pretty easy to run more cables.
I will say, one of the really nice things around having a crawlspace, it makes it effortless to run cabling across the house.
I am not very good at doing sheetrock, and especially not good at re-texturing the sheetrock, as such, I typically rely on floor grommets hidden out of sight, and out of mind.
The effort of achieving this in the average UK house is so much more than what I am guessing is OPs American house.
Crawlspaces don’t exist and we replaced sheetrock for double skinned solid brick walls.
I lived in a hundred-year-old row home and I feel your pain. I had to rent a hammer drill to run Ethernet to my office, which was draped along the outside of my house.
Did the same. Three story townhouse. To run Cat6 from top to bottom I went out, round the side of the house, up the wall, and back in.
