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.

Cause the official stuff runs like shit
Maybe 5 years ago. Vanilla runs fine these days.
Not when compared to the third party servers. Not only do they run better but they give the option of using plugins or mods to further improve performance and enhance gameplay.
It has been a long time since I ran MC servers, you could do all of that with self hosting though. I still remember around 2011 running a server at school with a PC we found in a skip. Glorious 750MB of RAM! It ran alright though for a room full of people.
When I said 3rd party I meant non mojang jars, not hosting providors
Amazing scavenge! I've got a server for my partner and I, vanilla+. One mod we have pauses the entire server if nobody is online, it works fantastically and only RAM is held, minimal CPU usage. Vanilla server runs perfectly fine for my case.
Ressource hog.
3rd party solutions run more efficient.
