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 you ever get raided by the Feds they'll probably raid your friends and family's houses too so it is generally advisable to avoid using friends and family for offsite storage.
Is getting raided by the FBI something most people worry about?
I don't worry about getting raided by the FBI at all since I don't live in the US lol
But apparently some people worry about it....but if those same people knew how to protect themselves while using the internet they wouldn't need to worry at all.
If you host Tor nodes, maybe.
Given the shit I saw in Australia during the pandemic, I don't trust the police or the government at all. I do everything I can to protect myself from them. Although I'm not worried, I do take steps to protect my data.
Only if you know no government has ever lasted forever, and think humans are capable of great evil. Even if not..it's just best practices..think about targeted attacks, corporate espionage, vengeance, things like that.
First they'd need a reason which they won't find or have.
Secondly in my 20+ years working in IT and using the internet I've never once heard that statement about it being "generally advisable to avoid using friends and family for offsite storage". Needed a good laugh. Thanks.
If your data is such valuable, I’m sure you took the time to setup a complete encrypted system (LUKS).
What is the alternative?
