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:

  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.

Good that you've put the work in to compile your list, but for anyone new; this is a list of C-tier hosts, and seems to have a pretty strong focus on "privacy" hosts - some of the privacy features can be nice, but it can be a double edged sword. By using a privacy focussed host, you end up co-habitating with other privacy focussed users, which tends to have a higher-than-average concentration of sketchy or outright criminal users. This can have an impact on IP reputation and other operational issues, even if you aren't doing anything sketchy yourself
