SelfHostBlocks Onboarding
User-hosted reproducible services based on NixOS
Hosting services yourself is the obvious alternative to alleviate those concerns but it tends to require a lot of technical skills and time. SelfHostBlocks (together with its sibling project Skarabox) aims to lower the bar to self-hosting, and provides an opinionated server management system based on NixOS modules embedding best practices. Contrary to other server management projects, its main focus is ease of long term maintenance before ease of installation. To achieve this, it provides building blocks to setup services. Some are already provided out of the box, and customising or adding additional ones is done easily. This project will focus on polishing the user experience, making sure that self-hosting is accessible to everyone.
