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 was just reading through
Lemmy-AnsibleGithub docs and wasn't sure if a 3rd party server or a home server was going to be better to run. The documentation doesn't feel super user-friendly or maybe I'm just not as tech-savvy as I thought.@ProtecyaTec@lemmy.world idk about ansible but if you are starting I would recommend starting small, in your personal computer. Docker is a good way to start
This may be way of scope for this thread but I'm not sure a better place yet to ask and learn more about how all this works. Say I run my Docker Container from a home PC, how do I make my Lemmy Instance accessible to the public? I'm familiar with web hosting but only from hosting on a simple 3rd party, where you buy a domain.
@ProtecyaTec@lemmy.world yeah if you want to host something like Lenny you may be able to do it on a home server but in terms of ports blocked, security, etc I guess it is easier to run it in a VPS
