My recommendations on open source software.

Decentralised/self-hosted online services

I'm running self-hosted online services. They are public, you can use them too :)

• Invidious, an alternate YouTube frontend

• SearX, a meta-search engine

• LibreX, another meta-search engine

• LibreY, fork of LibreX

• Libreddit, alternative Reddit frontend

I also recommend the following services for private use:

• NextCloud

• Matrix

new idea, work in progress - registry-based search engine manifesto

Notes on self-hosting

1. Monitor the metrics of every service you've hosting (Prometheus)
2. Visualise your metrics (Grafana)
3. Ping everything from time to time (Blackbox exporter)
4. Setup notifications when a service goes down
5. Automate everything from the start, you won't regret it
6. As your infrastructure (and knowledge) grows, you will eventually need infrastructure as code
