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've been trying to get this running for days, but I've had no luck. I follow the install instructions and when I get to the last step of actually starting the service, it fails, seemingly because there's some issue with the config file that I can't figure out. I was hoping this would be a good alternative for ESS Community, which I had no luck with either.

I tried to set it up the other day and failed as well. Looking at their docker-compose examples for reverse proxy, there are a lot of environment variables not included in their original example. After adding all those variables, the container started with a message about first registration.

I haven't tested more than that yet.

EDIT: Added it to my reverse proxy and was able to create the first account via Element.

You aren't UwUing hard enough during the install.
