Selfhosted

56308 readers

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.

Came across this on the r/selfhosted community. Still very much in the alpha stages, but it's already got a Docker image you can try out for yourself, or try out the demo server.

Tried it earlier today, couldn't get the voice/video chat to work right away on my self-hosted setup but the real-time chat was very snappy. Looks promising.

While I appreciate the effort devs put into making open source alternatives to a closed source app, the naming convention is really starting to get irritating...

Discord splits out to

  • Armcord
  • Legcord
  • Now Sharkord

YouTube has

  • InnerTune
  • Which turned into OuterTune

Libre-this, Libre-that, Libre-cock and balls.

...I would love for devs to separate their software's name just a little bit more from the thing they're trying to replace. Please. Just be more unique. The name can still have a nod to what it's replacing and not just be a partial modification to the original name.
