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.

If you do, make sure you get deep-cycle/marine batteries as a normal car battery will die reeeealllly fast under the typical workload you'll have from a UPS.

They're pretty simple and I considered one before deciding I really didn't want to deal with a whole bunch of batteries sitting on a shelf and just bought a normal UPS.
