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.

This is super cool! I'm not afab so I can't help test and my question may be ignorant but I'm curious why one would want this functionality to not be something native and benefits from being hosted at all?
There are some f-droid trackers that look nice (I keep seeing one there with a super pretty ui) but I'm not sure what the tradeoffs of just using a native application for something like this might be
The benefit over a purely local app is mainly cross-device access and easier syncing/backups, while still avoiding a third-party service storing your data.
Ownership of your data, privacy concerns, apps being tracked, cross-device, no f-droid for iOS.
