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.

Faulty peripheral power supply killed my server a little over a day ago.
120 gigs of MySQL data just wouldn't come up - backup is far from recent. My fault. Most corrupted tables were of course in Friendica.
After much nail chewing everything now appears operational again with minimum(?) data loss.

In other words: can you all read me? ;-)

Holy cow, 120 gigs in a database?

Also remember, you don't want a backup solution, you want a restoration solution :-)

Hear hear! You don't own a backup if you've never restored it before. Words to live by both in corporate and self-hosting environments.
