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.

Not sure if this has already been posted since it's kind of old news (early 2024), but I think that's exciting. I'm currently looking into blog software with nice webgui and I might wait for this to become real. Looking at the announcement page, they seem to take it seriously and there's continuous merged PRs since April until recently regarding AP on their GitHub.

This looks a lot like Writefreely.

I tried a random Writefreely instance and it was extremely barebones and had poor markdown styling. It gave me the impression that Writefreely is more for publishing short stories, rather than technical content.

(Is that the point of Writefreely?)

Ah, ok. I was barking up the wrong tree.

I never tried writefreely, but I was under the impression that it's really focused on, well, writing. Maybe it's not used that much, but I would like to have the ability to easily upload pictures and include them in the articles with some formatting options etc.

The people who make writefreely are saying that they are working on making image uploads possible for self-hosted instances, not just their own at write.as. Currently if you are self-hosting you can insert an image but it must be hosted elsewhere and inserted via a markdown link.

You can do that but only under paid accounts.
