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.

What is a service you host you never knew you needed? (k.fe.derate.me)

I think everybody on here is constantly keeping an eye out for what to host next. Sometimes you spinup something which chugs along nicely but sometimes you find out you've been missing out.

For me it's not very refreshing or new: Paperless-ngx. Never thought I would add all my administration to it. But it's great. I probably can't find the thing I need, but I should have a record of every mail or letter I've gotten. Close second is Wanderer. But I would like to have a little bit more features like adding recorded routes to view speed and compare with previous walks. But that's not what it is intended for.

What is that service for you?

Good to know, thank you. How did you set up the whatsapp bridge?

Thanks, but I mean how did you set up the external client for it? Did you have a spare phone to use, or did you set up an Android VM?

[–] Cerothen@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's just from my phone. I have all the notifications off from the original app

Ah got it, thanks. It's not an ideal setup tbh, it'd be great to be able to delete the WhatsApp app from my phone, but better than nothing...
