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.

And I'll argue it's on-prem even if you don't have the physical server in your building
If you want some extra budget start calling it Private Cloud instead of on prem so when your bosses get calls about cloud strategies you can say we already do cloud and we don't need their particular product.
Fucking hell. Teach me more money spells, wizard.
(I already know about Scotty Time, framing sexy upgrades as "tech debt reduction," and fending off trendy frameworks as "lacking maturity.")
We make it a drinking game…
Whenever a salespeople or a demo uses weasel language. DRINK!
Thank you. I’m totally going to steal “Tech debt reduction “. Ffs
I prefer technical neglect over technical debt because debt implies it is manageable where most of the time those systems are genuinely neglected due to their complexity.
I once heard a consultant refer to it as "The Fog" because it's like a cloud that you're inside of. 🤮
Oh man, this is brilliant!
Using whatever works better for the current project is doing Hybrid Cloud. Now your boss can brag about how modern the infrastructure is.
Why do you distinguish on premises from self hosting? If the server is in a server farm or in my basement, I'm still hosting myself my services.
From Wikipedia:
A private web server is not defined by its location.
I would say that "on prem" defines a location, "selfhosting" an action. You can do both at the same time, e.g. selfhosting nextcloud onprem.
Agreed, I would definitely not refer to the first one as self hosting without qualifying further.
I'll argue it's on prem even if it's hosted in azure behind a private v-net
