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.

GUIDs?
Could you expand on that topic? :)

Why would someone want that as their hostname???
I'd understand mountpoint but that?

Why the fuck would anyone use a guid as a hostname?

My favorite I've seen in the category was when they had hostnames that were basically the IP address decorated with some bullshit. Like yeeeeeeeeah, that totally makes fucking sense. 😆

I've seen those with public routing servers.
Example: IP-127.0.0.1.dtag.de

Makes sense there or for webservers.
But anywhere else? Lol not really
