Three months ago I picked up new hobby: Self Hosting. It has been an amazing ride. I learned a lot and I also get peace of mind knowing I am in control of my data.
I understand that there is no self-hosted alternative for certain SaaS services but I think that will change as more and more people choose to be in control of their data.
This is a good place to start https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted
- dismalpedigree 5y agoCompletely agree. I took the leap hard. Had some steep learning curves, but working well now. Nextcloud, onlyoffice, mattermost, pihole running on a home server. shifted to ubuntu from mac. The two most striking things are 1) how good the free software is. 2) how much less time i spend avoiding gotchas and dark patterns.

- bsenftner 5y agoMore people need to experience self hosting. It is liberating, and it casts a super nova spotlight on how over priced cloud offerings really are. And if you investigate a bit, you may find you can get Business Internet service to your home; that means you have symmetric upload and download speeds, typically at least 2oo mbps or higher, able to run servers from home and completely experience the joy and power of the Internet at a small fraction of the expense if attempting the same through a cloud provider.
