Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

So basically a browser extension? Actually it would be preferable in the Firefox sidebar vs a standalone site...

There are lots of options:

  • extension, as you mentioned
  • Tauri app - like election, but uses system web view instead of baking in a browser
  • PWA - service workers to make it work offline in the browser

Each is pretty easy, and the PWA means you can basically get the Tauri app feel for free.
