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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I only have one issue with the post.

The conclusion says use long random SNMP community strings.

Ideally you should be using SNMPv3 because snmp1/2/2c are all clear text.

Apart from that, nice article

You are absolutely correct, thank you. Sadly a bunch of devices still don't support it, even in 2025 (like my microtik switch) for example. I will absolutely add a note about that though, thank you!
