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.

For anyone who isn't a developer: contributing is not just code.
Monetary donations help developers to continue their work, supporting them in their journey much as the brave Samwise supported Frodo. They ensure the continuity of the project, allow developers to dedicate more of their time to it, and help them acquire resources they may need.
Yet not all of us are blessed with the wealth of the Lonely Mountain, and that is entirely acceptable. For in the land of FOSS, gold and silver are not the only treasures that matter. The donation of your time and skills can be as valuable as a chest full of gold.
When you come across a bug, it can be reported, much as Pippin reported his sighting of the Nazgul to Gandalf. Yet remember, respect is key, as it was in all communications among the Fellowship. A bug report, properly done, is a gift to the community, a contribution to the common good. But it should be given with care, with thoroughness, and with the respect due to a fellow traveler on this digital road.
Finally, consider the hobbits who remained in the Shire, who, though they did not journey far, spread tales of courage and bravery, keeping spirits high and ensuring the story was known. If you love a piece of FOSS, speak of it, share it, let others know. In the vast, interconnected realm of the Internet, word-of-mouth travels faster than Shadowfax.
Every contribution, every bit of help, is more than welcome. It is cherished. It is celebrated. For in the realm of FOSS, as in Middle Earth, we are all on this journey together.
Naturally, if you are gifted with the skills of a dwarf smith, able to delve into the deep code and fix bugs or add features, your contribution will be celebrated like Gimli’s axes in the Battle of Helm’s Deep. A good pull request is a bard’s song that echoes across the halls of digital Middle Earth, a melody that can inspire others and boost morale.
@dannym @rayb I used to write documentation for a living so I am open to assist with writing documents when needed :)
Indeed! Writing documentation is also extremely helpful; it's like Bilbo penning Middle Earth's lore, guiding users through the software's labyrinth. Your efforts, whether clarifying existing documents or spreading knowledge, light our collective journey like the Elves' light of Eärendil. Each addition or improvement is celebrated; it's our shared saga.
If you're willing, you can just checkout the site here and make suggestions of what you see could be improved :)
