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.

In my experience these tend to stop working pretty fast. Instagram would shut down all the proxies on the last project really fast.

In that case, why not just use Pixelfed?

Pixelfed is great! But as much as I like the Fediverse, not everyone is here. :(

But I have a plan, to encourage people to use Pixelfed. Since I have to create error pages for the project, I have one in mind. When an instance gets rate limited/blocked, there will be a notice to use another instance (or create one) and a paragraph (or link) to encourage the use of Pixelfed.

It ain't much, but is honest work (View)
