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.

Personally, I chose to run my own. Setup was a headache, but then I had to do things the hard way. Server on a subdomain but advertising my root domain with an Element web client running on the root. At least that was how I was setup originally. System updates borked the web client and as no one ever used it, I couldn't be bothered to fix it. The Matrix server itself though has been running without a hickup for over 2 years. Just gone down for updates.
If you haven't seen this list yet, you might take a look at it and see if anything strikes your fancy. https://joinmatrix.org/servers/
I will say that the Matrix.org homeserver is said to be rather slow as everyone seems to go there as default for some reason. Couldn't say why. /s
