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.

Sorry but I've always called the VPS I run in the cloud, with software used by my 5 person DND group, "self hosted". You're saying it is, or it isn't?

Self hosted usually refers to onside hosting. The VPS you are using is hosted offside. So basically it refers to where the server is, not who manages it. But there is a big overlap and many use them synonymous. It’s more of a „well actually“ that only happens to apply here

Just a little nitpicking, the words you want to be using are "offSITE" and "onSITE" not "offSIDE" or "onSIDE" (this isn't a football match).

How do you know that hosting isn’t a football match ?

Well, for one, my hardware is never very dramatic.
