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.

I run a k3s Kubernetes cluster on a single KVM host(multiple VMs). Honestly I do not care a single f*ck about that machine nor k3s itself. I update once a year, do not have any documentation written nor IaC somewhere. I always forget how I configured the networking stuff for example. But that machine runs my critical services flawlessly without a single crash in like 3 years. So no I cannot relate.
What we need is something that is a) Private (not saying nc isn't) b) Independent of any judicial government c) P2P and ultra redundant d) Run by a true non-profit (not like openAI) e) Massively distributed, process wise and storage wise f) OS independent, written in pure C or Rust.
Happily using NextCloud AIO without any major issue.
I don’t, I just keep running out of memory on my servers….
Wait so it's not just that my vps only has 1gb of ram?
You guys with more ram still get crashes?
Take that as you want but a vast majority of the complaints I hear about nextcloud are from people running it through docker.
Docker containers should be MORE stable, if anything.
and why would that be? More abstraction thrown in for the sake of sysadmin convenience doesn't magically make things more efficient…
The simple fix is to not use nextcloud
What’s the alternative?
I don't, because I switch it with something better if something like that happens.
