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.

I made a repo, mostly so I could easily set this up on new machines. Basically, it's a self-hosted offline private version of Grammarly.

Go forth, and use good grammar! 🔮

Kind of offtopic: Can we call something offline if you need a server to run it?

Sure, you could run it on your own PC and that's it, but I don't think that method fit well with this community

Er... maybe I am misunderstanding your post but this community is literally built around hosting your own local infrastructure.

That's part of it, but using a dedicated server, colocated server, or VPS are also considered "self hosted" too. "self hosted" is broader than just having a server at home, and means any server, web service, etc where you maintain it yourself.

Hardware in your own house is generally referred to as a "home lab".

Offline as in, the server software doesn't require the internet.

Yes, you absolutely could do that. You can run it locally and access it on localhost:8010

Also, even if you have it on a server on the LAN, many people would consider LAN “offline”.

Yeah offline means off cloud at this point

You can run it on your laptop. I do.

"Server" in this case refers to client-server architecture.

That said this community is about hosting things on a computer you own which can very much be online. But this one works offline too.
