I don’t want to self-host, and even worse: I think most individuals shouldn’t host services for others. Yet, I am self-hosting services and I even teach people how to do it.

I only share my services with two groups of people: my girlfriend and my technical friends. These services do include critical ones like password managers. I’m ok doing this because a.) the services i choose to use won’t prevent access to the data even if my server goes down and b.) my girlfriend understands its a one man band and my technical friends also self host so there’s an expectation of down time. I wouldn’t be comfortable with sharing what I host with anyone else though.

That’s what I love about Vaultwarden. Even if the Database were to explode, everyone could still access their own passwords and export them.

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.
