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.

If you run your webserver in a sandbox, that adds an extra layer of security. Something like docker, or a classic setup where you have a special user account with limited access, is good. So if the server gets owned, the damage is still contained
Random webservers online are still often attacked, so disabling all password based access is helpful. You may have to occasionally look at the connections log and ip ban some attempts
If you exploit a service running on Docker you can still use that to exploit other services running on the local network that are not directly exposed to the internet. Docker offers a layer between the service and the host it's running on, not the rest of your unsecured internal network where you have samba shares with one letter passwords.
