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:
-
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.

I use a cloud VPS at a state-owned datacenter in Vietnam (the army indirectly runs it). All things considered, they've been actually quite good, I've been a customer for several years now. Ping from my home or workplace is very low (under 10 ms). I get 4x vCPU / 2GB RAM, and 40GB storage (most of my self-hosted stuff is pretty lightweight).
Most of my self-hosted stuff is just plain packages, but I wanted to learn to use Docker and Ansible for Lemmy. Other services I sometimes run are an MQTT broker, and a few databases for logging data.
Logs go to /var/logs (there aren't many). I update software manually and often-ish. I've tested, but do not regularly use orchestration tools.
I've considered hosting at home, because a symmetrical fiber connection is ridiculously cheap here. The only reason I don't is because I need to have a VPS for client work anyway, so I may as well just use that and save the $$$ paying for a static IP at home.
