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.

But it also keeps the junk in a near little area which I can easily get rid of.
No need to look up how to do a clean install.

I would say it's purpose can be used like a live-ISO of an OS.

No need to look up how to do a clean install.

The suggestion you don't know that enterprise OSes have been doing clean installs and removals of a product and all its dependencies for 25 years as a critical test before issuing said packages suggests you're working around too many problems without solving them.

We did devops by pxe-based kickstart and then simple package updates before devops was even a word. It still does better than Ansible does now.
