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.

Wait, what does this actually do? It looks like it isn’t an emulator or a front end so….what’s it?

It's basically a web frontend to allow you to manage, organize, and download roms that also has the ability to play roms for certain systems in the browser using Emulator.js. The idea is with this you have a self hosted repository of roms with nice box art and meta data that you can download to any device or optionally play in the cloud if you want as well. I installed it a few days ago and it's really slick! It didn't handle the metadata for every game perfect, but for what it is it shows a lot of promise.
