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.

I use Gotify I self host it and it uses an app on my Android, super easy to set up and use. I tie in Home Assistant and a few other setups with it and it runs great.

That looks very similar to ntfy. I googled "gotify vs ntfy" and found this thread on reddit (ew, I know) https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/shw73e/difference_between_ntfy_and_gotify/

Con: User separation. A user can create "apps" (channels), and will receive messages posted there. Users will not receive messages posted to apps they didn't create. I haven't yet found a way to create shared apps, or allow multiple clients to receive notifications for a given message, and I don't want to share client logins.

Now, this thread is 3 years old, so I don't know if this is still the case, but this is a deal breaker for me. Several of the topic I have for ntfy are also subscribed by my wife, meaning we both get the notifications. I could just post the same message to two different topics, but that would be lame.
