#UBUNTU BITTORRENT SYNC INSTALL#
The configuration process described here is based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and does install and configure the following applications: At this point (end of 2016), my digital backbone is almost completely self-hosted, except for an e-mail server, which I happily leave to Fastmail. I started to look for a self-hosted alternative to Dropbox back in 2013, mostly out of privacy concerns, and I continued to add more self-hosted applications to my server ( a 4GB RAM box hosted with Hetzner).
Having said that, with a relatively small time-investment, I have never suffered any major (or minor) data-loss or data breach. On the other hand, self-hosting forces you to be very proactive about your data, chiefly:īoth back-up and security are not easy feat to get right, so self-hosting requires a certain degree of discipline. There are plenty of reasons you want to self-host applications (privacy, who owns your data, your data being stolen, etc.). These notes contain a relatively simple guide to set-up a fresh Ubuntu server and self-host a number of ( what I consider) essential apps.
