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.

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

Or is that not a thing? I don't recall seeing much in the way of party games in a self hosted environment.

Card games and board games with people. New Year's isn't really the time or place for this kind of thing.

This. Considering that you'd want to be with people, it only makes sense that you be analog for a bit.

They're party games you play together in person.

Some have analog-only equivalents but they often require you to have physical equipment, like pictionary basically requires an easel.

I don't really disagree with you, but it's good to meet people where they are. Party games that use a phone is better than no party games at all.

Some people don't have the luxury of being in the same place as the people they're celebrating with. Jackbox games is a popular remote party game, but I am curious if there exists a similar, open, self hosted alternative.
