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.

Syncthing.

https://syncthing.net/

But keeping the service live at all times isn’t really a backup.

As someone who tried syncthing with their non-self hosting friends, let me tell you, that edit folder option is terrifying for the general public lol

I guess you can do "local"backups then syncthing them over, but thats a bit contrived
