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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

In clearest terms, I want to completely erase Google from my life first, among other wants. Not expecting you or others to flee with detailed solutions/recommendations, but just to illustrate. My priority is likely:
Photos, all photos, app accessible locally for my family (and ideally remotely, eventually)
Notes, no more keep, but the basic flow of that app works for me, so similar UX hopefully without overcomplicating.
Music, local library accessible to stream throughout my home on capable devices and app accessible. Remotely accessible by app, if possible.
TV / Movies, as above with music, but ability to control with harmony remote on a TV and not keyboard/mouse ideally (but I do have decent workarounds here currently)
Optionally run all above through a self hosted, local voice assistant or mounted HW buttons.
Corresponding hue light control for media events, presence detection (maybe motion detection by room) and sun schedule. All without data going back to any 3p servers.
Nice to haves:
Calendar away from google, that allows simple external appointment scheduling, shared calendars and great colorful, visual organization of a coming week. Ideally a safe, private way for calendar to connect to and create events from emails.
Email, my own data and ability to use aliases that route back to main with corresponding tags ideally
Owning my online bookmarks, browser/device agnostic, with usable recall help, auto tags and read it later structure so saved articles don't just fall into the abyss. IIRC there was something called something like "Shinobi" that felt exciting for this need?
looking at your list, make sure you have a good understanding of whatever tool you are going to use and a place to back up your photos before you remove them from Google or where ever you have your photos stored.
