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 long been thinking about writing some technical things I didn't find easily on the internet down somewhere.

I don't want to use a platform like medium as I'd like to have control over my data. I'm already selfhosting diffrent web services like a password manager (vaulwarden), audiobookshelf and more in docker behind a reverse proxy. So whatever software I decide on should have a docker image available.

It would also be rather nice if the software would play nicely with the fediverse, so from some quick searching it seems that WordPress with the ActivityPub plugin would work nicely.

It there some other software I've overlooked that I should also consider?

In addition to the ActivityPub plugin, I would add the Friends plugin. When you have both, Friends will let you follow and respond to people via your WP site. At some point I want to make my Masto account followers-only and make my WP blog my public ActivityPub identity.
