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.

Just about every government and business. I'm guessing you've never had a job in IT.

well, maybe for the active directory, but for pretty much anything else...

Terminal servers, sccm, SQL, software that's only available for Windows. Companies and governments don't consider ideology when they choose a platform. They consider "what do I need to run this product" and "what's the TCO". Most larger orgs will have a healthy mix of windows and *nix servers and often a separate team to manage each.
