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.

@[email protected] I think we need to accept that unless self-hosting is your full time job, things can and will break. At some point you have to accept it and let it go.
Finally I know when I die, my spouse won't take care of my homelab and servers, all of it will go to the recycler.
Snapshots are the first line of defense for recovery from software errors. For hardware use ZFS raid.
That still isn't a proper backup. Have a separate backup that can not easily be destroyed.
