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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I just read about people struggling with Next loud in the OpenDesk thread and wanted to share this in case someone is interested in contributing to this project.

That is super kind of you!

I'm not sure which clients. I haven't installed opencloud, because I didn't see any clients for it on a cursory look. I tried nextcloud, but it kept failing after updates, so now I just use cron jobs to automate manual backup scripts I wrote to an external HDD. If you do test any desktop OC clients and find any "good enough" ones, I'll start with it : ) and if you don't get to test any, know that I still truly appreciate your offer!

Had today some time to take the linux desktop client for a test drive. It works without problem.

It is a appimage wich is for my taste not idea but it works.

This is the OwnCloud appimage that worked with the OpenCloud server, right? That's awesome! I'll spin my server back up and set up OpenCloud. Thanks!!
