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'm currently running an instance on Ubuntu but I'm wondering if it can be moved to my windows computer?

There are lots of docker deployment examples, and no reason it shouldn’t run in docker on windows. It supports Ubuntu containers. https://docs.docker.com/desktop/wsl/

One thing to note with Docker on Windows is that it will be running the Linux subsystem on top of the Windows stuff when you run Docker, so there will be a performance hit to do that.

It will work, but not necessarily as well as you would like.

Wsl isn't actually slower, it uses a kernel personality mode thing that basically means Linux runs as a first class process.

The performance hit doesn't show up for most stuff, but iirc it does show up for some heavy io, networking and some synchronization.

Still, highly not recommended.
