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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

I'm at the user level of "people keep saying docker... what the fuck is a docker?" -looks it up- "this explains nothing."

Plus, I got lifetime Plex a while back, and can use it to stream videos to my remote classroom for examples in class.

docker means that the software is so brittle that it only works on the developer's machines. So they ship the developer's machine too.

Docker is not a software distribution medium

Yeah I understand that. I was also at that level when I started. It did take me a while to understand the docker compose syntax. But was pretty simple once I got into it. I understand not wanting to dive that deep though.
