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.

It’s free as in “paying zero money”. It’s still distributed via leanpub. Requires an email address to get to the download page, it doesn’t verify it in any way other than being a valid email format. Links are to DRM-free epub and PDF.

True, and Jeff is clearly making no money from it. Though leanpub is still taking its registrations and page views. Sure that doesn’t cost us anything but time. But calling time free is also something controversial.
