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.

Hello, lemmy.world! First time posting here, hope you'll find it somewhat useful.

In an attempt to protect my personal info from data-hungry cloud-infested madness that comes from app stores of various kinds, I decided to establish a routine of scraping health metrics from... myself. This particular example requires manual input, however it proved to be working reliably and much more precise than any other mood journaling app.

More details you may find here, in my personal blog.

Feel free to ask other details, I can share my termux scripts, Tasker workflows, Grafana dashboard JSONs, and other infrastructure around it.

To my knowledge not really much is available. You may use an intent to trigger database export and then use SQLite to scrape data.

Also keep in mind that data is kept in device specific tables.
