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.

Americans who host media servers for friends & family and are forced to use a cable-based ISP, what is your upload/download setup? Also, what is your rationale for your speeds?

Xfinity is not cheap, upload speeds are garbage and although I want my users to have a great experience, I don't want to spend tons of money to host this?

Do you make your users pay for access? That seems pretty shitty imo but I'm hosting encodes (no remuxes) but between my various non-local family members and a couple buddies from college, I'm maxing out my upload speeds and need to figure out what to do.

Can you be more specific on how fast your upload speeds are?
