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 webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers? (lemm.ee)

Since selfhosted clouds seem to be the most common thing ppl host, i'm wondering what else ppl here are selfhosting. Is anyone making use of something like excalidraw in the workplace? Curious about what apps that would be useful to always access over the web that aren't mediaservers.

Web-accessible Emacs? What are you using?

[–] This2ShallPass@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

You can use the Linuxserver.io VSCodium Image and replace VSCodium with Emacs in the Dockerfile.

Huh, what?

I see in your link that that image has support for KasmVNC, which is great and you could use to make Emacs work...

But the whole point of VS Code is that it can run in a browser and not use a remote desktop solution- which is always going to be a worse experience than a locally-rendered UI.

I kinda expect someone to package Emacs with a JS terminal, or with a browser-friendly frontend, but I'm always very surprised that this does not exist. (It would be pretty cool to have a Git forge that can spawn an Emacs with my configuration on a browser to edit a repository.)

Exactly, since KasmVNC can run GUI programs in the browser and the Linux server.io base image is just Debian, it was trivial to just run it with Emacs instead. I much prefer Emacs over VS Code because of Org Mode. While VS Code works well in a browser. It isn't what I wanted.

Here is where I have posted my Emacs Dockerfile. It might be a little out of date. Emacs Docker

EDIT: The Dockerfile also installs the fonts I like for Emacs along with git and hunspell.

EDIT: You could also probably achieve something similar with a Docker container run ning Apache Guacamole.
