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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Why did you pick N8N over Node-RED?
Node-RED requires enough technical knowledge that it becomes not easier, but harder than writing JS code when things go medium size. N8N is superior in UX.
Also although I greatly appreciate everyone’s efforts, I don’t want to rely on community plugins that require maintenance and may or may not abandoned after it’s developer loses interest/move on with their life. TBH NPM is brimming with those.
Haven't tried node, so I'm interested to hear as well, but n8n is super easy to set up, and I like the interface.
I've looked at node multiple times in the past, and I remember finding no reason to switch.
