Hey everyone!

Just like the guy from the UK who posted earlier, I wanted to see if there are any like-minded folks from the Philippines lurking here who are into self-hosting. If you are, hello! Let’s socialize!

I’m still fairly new to self-hosting myself. I’m running Ubuntu on WSL on my HP EliteBook 840 G5, with Docker installed. I’ve also played around with free cloud services like AWS Free Tier. I couldn’t get Oracle Cloud to work (they wouldn’t accept my debit card), and I eventually got paranoid about surprise charges, so I decided to host things locally instead.

I started out with the main Docker Desktop app on Windows but eventually moved to Docker Compose once I got more comfortable with the terminal. So far, I’ve got Portainer, Watchtower, File Browser, Vaultwarden, Jellyfin, qBittorrent, Navidrome, Kavita, Speedtest Tracker, and more. I’ve also tried some work-related tools like ITFlow, BookStack, and Invoice Ninja—basically any free, open-source self-hosted app that’s fairly easy to set up and catches my interest.

Would love to meet other Pinoy self-hosters and hear about what you’re running. Hello from the Philippines! 🇵🇭
