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.

You may self-host your notes or calendar, but you’re forced to either recreate account systems or give up on interoperability.

I literally just finished setting up Radicale on my old laptop, and now I can access my calendar and contacts through CalDav and CardDav from every single client under the sun. Maybe don't use AI to write your entire article. I won't even bother reading the rest of the article if you don't even get this right.

Caldav, carddav, and email are probably the only easily portable data interops.

I guess photos can be re-uploaded but that's not easy.

Do notes transfer though? I know Outlook, Gmail/GSuite, and Apple all have notes but I don't know if they transfer.

What exactly are "notes"? CalDav has a to-do feature that might do what you need it to do.
