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.

Recently discovered changedetection.io. It nicely filled the need I had. I have it watching a few static forum posts for updates that are communicated that way.

Oh wow.. My 10 year old python script may be replaced now.

Edit: And I already had it starred, because it works just like my 10 year old python script.

You can go semi-advanced mode by using regex to ignore certain line changes. Some sites require you to go super-advanced mode by using playwright running in a headless-v2 container rather than just plain text mode.

It's nice being able to see the history of changes. Especially when there's multiple rapidfire changes.

Oh yea, I'm still going to try it out the next time I need to page watch.

I'm a little confused. It's this a self hosted program? Following the link I see a monthly subscription cost.

If you don't want to self host, they offer hosting.

[–] Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Got it.

That seems pretty cool.

I could never get it working right due to captchas on sites, its a beat idea though
