Welcome to [email protected] - What do you selfhost? - Lemmy.World

Hello everyone! Mods here 😊 Tell us, what services do you selfhost? Extra points for selfhosted hardware infrastructure. Feel free to take it as a chance to present yourself to the community! 🦎

Host all the things!

Wordpress, SMTP/IMAP, tor, bittorrent, Nextcloud, Plex, NTP, photo galleries, DoT…

I even started hosting the website for my local Italian restaurant and they haven’t even realised it yet.

Wait, what? How are hosting someone else’s website?

OK, here’s how it happened.

I was hungry, and I wanted to see the menu for my local pizza joint. I couldn’t find it anywhere.

I discovered that all their socials linked to a website that wouldn’t load. When I checked, the domain had lapsed.

Out of frustration, I purchased the domain and pulled the last snapshot of their website off archive.org. It had their full menu as a PDF.

6 months later and it’s still getting visitors from their facebook page, who are viewing the menu. They haven’t even realised.

That’s funny. Imagine how confused they’ll be when/if they find out.
