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 (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I actually don’t want to run it on regular signal network. Just want to self-host it on my home server, and allow home devices to use it to communicate via tailscale.
Basically my own private signal network that my devices connected to.
Sounds like a job for XMPP
Seems like SimpleX might already do what you're looking for.
I self host NTFY instead. It's not a chatbot but a hell of a lot easier to integrate devices into.
You will also have to recompile the official apps with the new domain/IP. And then keeping both updated. That's too much work. I'd rather self-host Matrix without federation. Or XMPP.
I had a quick look and seems there have been some projects packaging the Signal server for Docker... But the projects Google returns as results on the first page all seem to be abandoned. Seems this is a bit niche. Unfortunaltely I don't have any good advice here. I run a Matrix server, so I don't have experience with this.
