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 (donβt cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I want to try it out... but the smell test is off: Land on the github and it proudly proclaims the author is not doing this for money, only to help the community! Awesome right? Scroll down a little more to project history... and the first version he created and got bored with and sold. Ok... well let's click on the website link to actually see what this looks like before cloning and installing... and the first thing I am hit with is join a premium subscription.
I'm not against making money, we all have to - but please don't act like it's "not about the money" and then make it about the money.
If someone is looking for a selfhosted fitness app, you could checkout wger.

Its not my project, but my reasoning was that the selfhosted version would give you the same features as premium. I didnt look into detail into it tbh.
He claims he was the main contributor, I think, not the author. Fair disctinction imo. I can see the drive to keep something alive if you contributed a lot to a project, especially if you know the codebase well and think its very much feasible in other environments.
This and other bits from the readme makes it seem that the author was just as burned by the previous project selling out imo
