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.

If it involves debit/credit card transactions then you start rinning into the PCI-DSS regulations, so unless you're willing to take payments in crypto doing it yourself gets problematic. Even cryto would be nearly impossible since by its nature those are a more push trasaction where a recurring transfer would generally be a pull from the payee to the paypor.
That's not to say it's impossible, after all e-commerce is a thing, but any kind of stored payment transaction puts you in a whole new world of liability and makes you much more of a direct target for thieves than just a passive 'send money here' style donation page would.
