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.

I tried it 3 months ago. It looked nice had some cool features, but It didn't fit into my personal selfhosted Home server.
This is more or like to help less-tech savy people to secure their infrastructure, which is a good point, but can't replace a complex wireguard, VPN, opnsense, 2FA , self-signed CA, docker installation.
It's a bit like Nginx proxy manager, it's good enough, does what it is suposed to do with minimal user inputs. Less prone to error, security issues...
Exactly! I am that kind of user. It fits my needs perfectly, where CasaOS falls very short.
After getting burnt on the unRAID license change and the restriction on security updates, I figured there had to be a simple os that I can essentially set, forget, and easily update when I need, which also uses SnapRAID. I might just try this out.
There must be a term for middle-ground people like me. I've used computers my whole life, as a kid I portfowarded to host WC3 servers, as a teenager I self-hosted minecraft servers both on my pc and rented linux servers. I'm a software developer and I've dabbled in dozens of technologies and have a decent understanding of so many computer/IT related things that most people don't even know exists.
I'm trying to say I think I'm a tech wizard but putting me in the "less tech savvy" bucket with my mom feels weird. Self hosting was a nightmare to get setup. There's just too much shit to learn and when all you want is a Sonarr/radarr/jellyfin setup you're just figure out the important details and get the damn thing working before you forget it all.
I like having all the customization available to me but I only want to learn details that are relevant to what I'm trying to do. It's like game developers using Unity instead of writing their own physics engine. Yeah sure I could study real hard and painstakingly implement my own engine but it's going to take fucking forever and there will be ever-present hidden issues plaguing me as I make the part of the game I actually care about.
