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

As someone who has never done any serious coding work or collaboration, hadn't touched Linux in 18+ years and am really only fluent in windows and Mac, and with limited time to get up to speed, I fucking love opinionated guides.
Tell me exactly what to do to get it up and running. Let me learn along the way, but don't expect me to be able to read and understand the pros and cons of lets encrypt vs other solutions.
I simply do not have the requisite base knowledge to make informed decisions on this.
If you wanna leave it up to me how to do a golden gate assembly, quick change reaction, or a gibson assembly, I can handle that.
Understanding the nuance of docker networking, reverse DNS,maintaining SSL, and just generally how to make it so I can use a hostname and not an IP address to access my services locally is something I want to learn. Eventually.
It's not that your critiques of guides are invalid, but they may just not be structured for general learning. And their target audience is temporarily ignorant fools like myself.
