Why self-hosting ?
Internet was made as a decentralized network. But the last 10 years were the theater of a its great metamorphosis, where the biggest private companies like Google, Facebook, Microsoft or Apple became stronger by centralizing a considerable amount of datas into huge data-centers. By giving them your datas, you allow them to exploit, analyse, censor or sell them. You have the choice to be out of this, because that is what Internet is made for.
Self-hosting is to:- Unshackle from private platforms.
- Become the owner and the only person in charge of your datas.
- Fight against restriction of the expression and sharing freedom.
- Contribute to Internet independence and neutrality.
So why you no host ?
Based on Debian and free softwares only, YunoHost will help you install your own home server. The final goal is to use it daily:
- To receive, read and send your emails, with Roundcube instead of Gmail.
- To chat, interact and share with your friends, with Jappix instead of Facebook.
- To store your files, and share it with Owncloud instead of Dropbox
- And much more to come :)
All of this simply, from your server, at home.
