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.

I feel like this is at least tangentially connected to self hosting, so I'm asking here. I'm interested in finding a cloud provider to host my own Lemmy server (similar to what Masto.host does with Mastodon). I've been looking around for all the different options available, and I haven't found many. Communick.com and elest.io are the ones I've found. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with either of these, or if anyone has any other recommendations to consider.

I have tried elest.io. You get a 7 day (up to $20) trial after adding a credit card.

Setup is easy and you get a running instance in minutes. Setting up custom domain isn't as straight forward for a managed service though.

The cheapest server costs about $10 per month.

Recommended if you're looking for a managed solution and don't wanna bother with setting it up yourself.
