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.

Does this really need to be weekly? Surely a monthly or even quarterly update would make far more sense.

I've been subbed to the newsletter basically since it started a year+ ago. It's nice to get a glance at what's new/updated, but I especially use it for the "breaking changes" info as I have setup my system to basically be hands-off, if-i-get-hit-by-a-bus-it-keeps-going, except if the docker config change. I have watchtower set to run every week, a day after the newsletter, so I've got time to check the email and make changes if needed.

I thought "oh, I'll just be notified through github of new releases" and went through, setting that notification up, one by one, set to be put in a specific folder in my inbox so it's right there, no external stuff needed... I've never looked at that folder, except for "holy fuck there's a ton of mail in here" and then closing thunderbird, lol. So the newsletter is essential.
