Self-hosting is an acceptable temporary solution to a lack of privacy regulations but not a sustainable long-term one.

I’m confused because the article talks about self hosting on a VPS and how many self hosted services could stand up to legal action?

That sounds like it’s describing running a public service for others. Self-hosting IMO is running something for yourself, it doesn’t even need to be on the public internet 99% of the time.

Running a service for others is just plain old hosting.

Create a post

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.
