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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I personally found this really easy to initially install, much easier than photo prism.. however it's died twice on me (postgres issues) first was due to an update and then incorrect permissions... I'm not sure what broke it the second time... So whilst easy to install, does still require maintenance and time to fix issues.

Strange, postgres is usually not the one to die. My server is permanently running out of space, so I have to keep deleting shit, and my PG did not die once. On the other hand, my other very old server (not updated in 3 years) has it's PG die (and automatically restart) at least once a day.

Yeah, I'm sure it's user error somewhere. But trying to find / read logs etc etc or do any type of fault finding is a bit of a grind because I don't use Linux enough to become proficient
