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.

off topic, I know, but I want that but for my life. net worth, credit score, weight, 1 mile run time, general wellness, etc...
This was a huge benefit of my self-hosting. I started with just file server and mythTV, but mythTV uses mySQL, and once I had a db running, I found all kind of other uses for it. I've used Quicken (2012) to track finances, but then I figured out I could use my brokerage's API to get the raw data and make my own graphs. My rowing machine has an API to get all kind of metrics, including a heart monitor. Environmental sensors. I haven't gone as far as 'smart' scale, or a wearable that would track sleep. Then a bunch of python to make pretty graphs for web pages.
Honestly, I think it's the pleasure of seeing new dots show up on the rowing graph that keeps me doing it.
That would be awesome. Although I feel like it would be depressing opening a dashboard that showed 0, 0, 1 hour, bad etc... :)
