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

Thank you for the queries. The rhetorical question is why isn't the server handling this.
I don't know, can't speak for the devs. It is weird that if you don't implement these API calls buried a bit deep in the wiki, you end up storing every meme and screenshot anybody posted on any instance for the rest of time. But I found these through issue reports with many people asking for these to be implemented by default with for instance a simple setting "purge after X days" and a list of rooms to include or exclude from the history clean-up.
are the media files redownloaded from other servers when someone tries to load them? I guess all local media is lost forever, but maybe not remote ones
