| Code? For self-hosting? I hope not. Most programmers shouldn’t be programming internet-facing stuff. (FWIW I include myself in “most programmers”). Get it from your repository. In that case you are trusting somebody like Debian or Redhat. They’ve earned an awful lot of trust. |

| ▲ | 4ndrewl 7 months ago | parent [-] | | Yeah, bit weird - surely the population of HN is either going to be - people who _can_ code it themselves, or - people who believe they can get AI to code it for them | | |
| ▲ | doubled112 7 months ago | parent [-] | | I'm in a third group: people who can decide if somebody else's code is "good enough" to host it themselves | | |
| ▲ | 4ndrewl 7 months ago | parent [-] | | For my definition of code in this context you're in the first group, as you're doubtless going to have to modify some Dockerfile/.env/config.yaml to point the flapdoodle_cache setting to /usr/local/.this/fnar |

| It's a pity Sandstorm never super took off. Portable serverless with really nice security built in meant really easy to deploy apps; app server just for you or for a group of people was so nice & easy. I really hope we someday have self-hosting that isn't as intimidating, that isn't a million different systems all complex in their own way, where there's a base platform with base assumptions and base tools, that let's us manage our self-hosted apps & their data. |

| I'm self-hosting a couple of services that stopped receiving updates (including security updates) about 10 years ago. They still serve my needs perfectly well. They're hidden behind HTTP authentication (with HTTPS) so the internet noise ("AI" shit, web scrapers, shodan, script kiddies) doesn't even know they exist. |
