Any domain registrar/hosting provider that does not require propietary software to run?

smileyhead@discuss.tchncs.de to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – -6 points –

I gone through a lot of hosting service providers and unfortunetly cannot find a single one that can be used without running nonfree programs, all of them require loading bulky obfuscated JavaScript apps.

I know of Codeberg Pages for static sites for example, but it is not suitable for any business or professional use.

What exactly do you mean? Typically you go to a website, register the domain, setup payment and then setup the nameserver. No need to install anything on your end.

Same with hosting. You sign up, setup payment, order a machine (root or virtual) and then you get SSH credentials and are good to go.

He wants one he an run without adding an exception on NoScript.

Personally, I don't know of any.

I mean ... that's basically how the internet works today. And even if you don't "run" proprietary stuff on your end, their service as a whole is still proprietary. So it seems like a pointless battle, IMO.

I would rather ensure to use a browser where I trust its sandbox to properly isolate the shit it has to run inside.

The question wasn't about avoiding installing but running proprietary software.

But as I said: once the DNS entries are set up, everything is routed directly to your machine. What runs there is completely in your hands. Same with VPS/root server: SSH is free. Pick the client you like.

I don't know of a single registrar or hoster that I can't run without libre software.

I get thy stand on this, personally I also have to compromise my software freedom to register my domains, but again OP asked to avoid X and saying after doing X you won't have to is not answering the question.

But he said "proprietary software to run", not to "setup" or "register" or whatever.

Ah yes, I bet thou canst also skip the booting part when thou runst software on thy compooter. And Jehovah (or an idol of thy choice) forbids any configuration or upgrade requiring a reboot.

If thou dissectst this even more clearly thou wouldof noticed OP asked about running a domain registrar or hosting provider, not using their service. Also the word was propietary.

Now, if thou excuse OP's imperfect English thou can find a clearer description below:

one that can be used without running nonfree programs

Like virginity, it's either with or without innit, or doth thou prefer thy olive oil lightly fucked?
