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.

Following on from this discussion: https://reddthat.com/post/6044040 I finally updated my VPS setup - deleted everything and started fresh with a whole new approach. I decided to make a full writeup for anyone that might find it useful or at least mildly interesting. I'm not an expert in any of the concepts that I wrote about so looking forward to the many many ways that I can improve! Many thanks!

That is not feasible for many/most people.

Upload speeds of the average person make general internet use while connected to a home VPN much worse. For example, my mobile nework is at least 10x faster than my home network upload speed if I am in a place with 5g. I'd much rather connect to my paid VPN provider where the speed difference is barely noticable.

Not to mention even if people are using a VPS, it might be very far away and severely impact speeds.

I’m not saying it is; I’m saying that the option exists and is possible.
