Lost Web Service

Simple Privacy Focused Solutions for Independent Creators and Self Publishers

I created to service my own desire to produce and distribute my own content without having to deal with vendor lock in, algorithms, or censorship.

Now that I’m actively succeeding with that goal, I hope to share the joy of self-publishing with the world and help other creators become producers and distributors their own content on their own brand without YouTube, Facebook, or OnlyFans taking a cut of their earnings.

Management Tools

Publishing ones own content is quite a chore. Here are some of the tools I use to facilitate production:

Web Control Panel

A web control panel is a program that simplifies the management of numerous systems that all have to work together harmoniously to make all of the 0s and 1s into something a person can digest: databases and listening ports and server side processing.

I use HestiaCP as my primary web server. You can learn more about HestaCP at https://hestiacp.com or view the source code at https://github.com/hestiacp/hestiacp

I use Webmin as a secondary system in case of failure. You can learn more about webmin at https://webmin.com or view the source code at https://github.com/webmin/webmin

Application Manager

Everyone needs apps, even, occasionally a server. I use a Yunohost to facilitate app installation and system updates
