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:
-
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 (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Docker is convenient but not really a solution if you care about free software. It's as in-transparent as a windows installer. Not really of course but it drags the FLOSS community in that direction. I think we should work on making distributions better at installing and maintaining complex web applications (including their databases etc). Why can't I just install lemmy or whatever package in a standard debian? Why is state scattered around? Why is it tough to have several versions of interpreters or libraries installed side by side? These are questions we should ask the people making distributions. Maybe GUIX or Nixos style distros are the answer to these questions.
All in all, docker isn't really about isolation or containers, it's about having a convenient but in-transparent abstraction for a package and their state.
