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.

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.

I hear about people wanting alternatives to discord though I never got into using it too much personally, but does anyone know about whether or not Revolt chat is a good open-source self-hostable solution?

I have tried and their documentation is too complex and incomplete for self hosting. Right now, for communication, I have mumble for VoIP and ngircd as an irc server.

It pretty much covers 80% of discord use case. I am looking for something that support video chat/screen sharing. Synapse is honestly not bad at all. But it's too power hungry for my liking. I wish Jitsi could have better ux for average consumer. It feels too business like.
