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.

A simple question to this community, what are you self-hosting? It's probably fun to hear from each-other what services we are running.

Please mention at least the service (e.g. e-mail) and the software (e.g. postfix). Extra bonus points for also mentioning the OS and/or hardware (e.g. Linux Distribution, raspberry pi, etc) you are running on.

I currently host

  • Akkoma (microblogging)
  • GoToSocial (microblogging)
  • SearXNG (meta search engine)
  • Baikal (CalDAV)

on a cheap VPS that has 2GB RAM and 2 core CPU. They run pretty smoothly.☁️

I have debated on hosting my own SearXNG search instance but I am not sure if I would benefit. I would likely be the only one using it but I would personally only use it for ddg, startpage, brave search etc. or in other words everything but google and bing. Is this what you do or do you share yours among others?

I host my searxng instance for myself. Most of my search is in Japanese because of I’m Japanese. Some search engines don’t have enough index of Japanese web site. Hence I use google, bing, ddg, yahoo, goo and brave on searxng. I’m not sure how much benefit I get by using searxng. At least, I don’t have to see Google logo.😆
