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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (donβt cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Barring any hardware issues or external factors, will it run for 10000 years? Any logs not properly rotated? And other outputs accumulating and eventually filling up a filesystem?
Nothing to install? Not with that attitude!
Start a 10" rack.
I test in my Homeproduction
If logging is down and there's no one around to log it, is it really down?

Off topic, warning: this comment section is making me want to learn things
It's been 2 days off reddit and my brain has opinions other than "aaaargh" or "meh".
Proceed with caution
Me to my lab.
OP, totally understand, but this is a level of success with your homelab. Nothing needs fiddling with. Now, there is a whole Awesome Self Hosted list you could deploy on a non-production server and run that through the paces.
Yeah, my home server was being a little too stable and I wasn't really learning anything. So I switched from fedora to proxmox, now I've got a nixos vm I'm going to try to get all my services running in.
Living the good life
How is the kubernetes (k3s/rke2) migration coming along?
No upstream bugs to fix?
Yes that does seem to describe modern computing, indeed, consumer electronics in general.
It's no longer about solving actual problems, it IS the problem.
I wish it was stable
I had a drive die yesterday
That's not a homelab, that's a home server.
