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.

Foundry VTT (I know it's technically for a game but it's technically a virtual tabletop and not a game itself)

AI Chatbots for tech support

I technically self-host an image generation AI through my main home PC, but that's made less accessable and only on when I specifically demand it via ssh lol

Occasionally I'll throw a temp website up for local events for like event schedules or whatever, an easily accessable and editable html file or whatever

I see mention of Foundry, I upvote. My friends and I have been using it for a couple years and still find new ways to be impressed by it.

I just started porting a DnD Beyond campaign into it and using it to store homebrew world info for a future game, but so far it's been basically everything I ever wanted from Roll20 or DDB, but self-hosted and they give you access to the code so you can just... Code in features you want

Thinking about pirating the FFXIV TTRPG when someone puts it up and making it in Foundry if it's not already done by someone smarter eventually lol
