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.

They are using a hosting provider - their dad.
"The cloud" is also just a bunch of machines in a basement. Lots of machines in lots of "basements", but still.
"hosting provider" in this instance I think means "do you pay them (whoever has the hardware in their possession) a monthly/quarterly/yearly fee"
otherwise you can also say "well ACTUALLY your isp is providing the ability to host on the wan so they are the real hosting provider" and such...
Their dad is not a hosting provider. I mean, maybe he is, but that would be really weird.
