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.

It looks like it's hosted on ghost.org, so it's not self-hosted in the first place.

At least you can still self host Ghost websites. My personal website is a ghost site, running in docker on my home lab.

I've been looking a platform for personal blog, portfolio, and what not that's kind of fun to play with without having to build the whole thing myself.

What's your opinion of this project?

Awesome selfhosted can not show you alternatives to a specific app. You always need to know what you are looking for. It is a static list

Selfhst is better with filtering and shows activity status of the projects. It is not an endless list

Quick feedback: your css transitions are way too long, opening the hamburger menu should not make me feel like I'm waiting for it to open.

Also you've gone for the card layout on the app list, however cards create the expectation that they are actionable yet clicking them does nothing. At least make the app names clickable.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Not to detract from your suggestions, but the website portion of the card is clickable. Took me a minute to figure that out.

It's not OP's website. Looks like there's a contact form on the site though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Ah, fooled by the title yet again!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oh, nice. I highly recommend the applications listed under the *arr tag. 🏴‍☠️

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I can't believe I didn't realize the double rr after sonar and radar is mimicking pirates.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Oh. My. God.

I've been using it for years and never got that either 😮

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Frankly it is a bad idea mix piracy with legitimate services. If the community wants that they should make a separate page for legal reasons

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Umm, I'm assuming you're not aware that it isn't illegal to host container images for pirating software, or Even to have it actively running. What's illegal is obtaining copyrighted content.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Discussing it or showing others how to pirate is also illegal at least in the US.

The DMCA is complicated

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Showing who how to pirate? I only download legal open source applications with my torrents.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Discussing piracy is most definitely not illegal in the US. It's protected by the first amendment, and there aren't laws that even try to restrict it.

The only part of the DMCA that really has any complexity is the anti-circumvention bit, and that has no relevance anywhere to discussing piracy or tools that can be used for piracy.

There are a lot of stuff on that list that I don't understand how it's "self hosted"

Hugo for example. It is just an application/framework to generate static websites. I guess you can self host the websites, but....

It's like saying notepad.exe is self hosted.

This was just an example, but I saw several such cases.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That example makes sense to me, because it's an alternative to something like hosting a blog on some third party site: generate it statically and host the result somewhere.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

But... Hugo is not a self hosting solution. Hugo just makes html files, it doesn't host anything.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I recommend adding ollama under the artificial intelligence tag.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Very cool and inspiring list. Bookmarked it 👍

But some applications are just desktop tools like Notesnook (can not find a server version to host) or are android apps like Aegis. It is not a list of only self-hosted apps.

Duplicati needs to get thrown out, it is beta for years and will not work if database gets corrupt (and it will get corrupt), the latest version is from May 2023 (still beta like any other version in the last years 😄)

It's not my website, but you can contact the owner here: https://selfh.st/contact/.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

thanks for this! I've always wanted to get started on my own self hosting solution

I need a truly open source Cosmos Server replacement that can manage KVM, Docker containers, networks and storage. So far my only option is to use Proxmox and run Docker in a VM. Dockge lacks lots of features in comparison to Cosmos Server.

I haven't found that category nor Cosmos Server in slfhst apps. Any ideas?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

This is awesome, I look forward to the weekly updates and have found lots of great tools from that. Keep up the awesome work, it is very much appreciated!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You should join forces with Terminal Trove ❤️💪

Saved, thanks chief!
