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.

Hey guys simple question: Do you use self hosting solutions like CasaOS or Yunohost? Why or why don't you?

This is more of a out of curiousity question since I am currently experimenting with different setups. ATM I prefer self hosting solutions because of the easiness of adding services.

I also ended up on Debian. Started on Redhat, then moved through a few much smaller distros. Used Ubuntu for awhile until their "security" update broke the networking on all my servers in one night. Amazingly the fix for that problem was to follow their own directions to recompile the kernel with their config files, but the problem persisted in all their releases for at least a decade (judging by the frequent replies to the bug thread that I kept receiving). I completely gave up on them at that point and switched to Debian, and I've never once regretted that choice.
