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.

- I'm looking for a buddy to work through using #Proxmox to host a packaged / integrated solution to cover suite of self hosted applications together.

I'd like to find someone who is exploring this space and step through implementing a solution - rather than experience / guidance from someone who's already done it before so I'd just be asking them a heap of questions and being a general pain in the backside.

Sort of light fellow students learning a language I'd like to explore hosting friendica or a similar social media server, #homeassistant #nextcloud, a media server ( #jellyfin maybe), #email #personalfinance and other applications within a framework such as CoopCloud, Yunohost or something else) - I have some experience with #openwrt - which I use for VPNs

Is anyone else out there on a similar learning curve - Are you based in #Madrid, #Barcelona in Spain or #London, #Huddesfield in the UK or close by? I'd be up for some in person meets and chats as well as online. (Now I feel like I'm writing a profile for a dating site ) - Is this weird. I like my hobby but I'd like it to be more social - and develop, or more likely adopt some design patterns that can be used by others.

I think you should seek someone with experience, a mentor. Otherwise it's the blind leading the blind.

@frongt Yeah. i like aking for advice but some of the joy is the discovery and figuring out things. its a.balance right? I get heaps of support online but working something out by talking with someone can be fun.

I would echo that, look for a mentor.

How much Linux terminal do you know? As that will speed up your learning

If you don't find someone, maybe you can find a hackerspace or the like in those locations. There might be people already doing what you are currently looking into.

@tofu Yes looking at some ..

If you speak Spanish, a month ago or so I was pointed at https://foro.autoalojado.es/, might be interesting to discuss the in-person stuff, although it doesn't seem like it's reaching a critical mass of activity :(

@koala Quisas esta bajando por el verano. Muchos grupos tomar un descanso en agosto. (Mi clase del castellano por ejempo).
