Selfhosted

57329 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.

My wife needed a cycle tracker. Everything out there was either Flo (which got sued twice for sharing health data) or an abandoned GitHub project. So I built Ovumcy. Single Go binary, SQLite, Docker-ready. No analytics, no third-party APIs, no cloud. Your data stays on your server. Features: period tracking, symptom logging, predictions (ovulation, fertile window), statistics, CSV/JSON export, dark mode, Russian and English. Just pushed v0.2.5. Looking for feedback from real users.

Why not use drip or mensinator? Both FOSS.

Ovumcy isn’t trying to replace them. The idea here is to explore a self-hosted, web-based approach that focuses on running the app on infrastructure you control, with simple deployment and cross-device access through the browser.

Different tools optimize for different things. Native apps like Drip or Mensinator are great for fully local tracking, while Ovumcy explores a self-hosted model that can be accessed from multiple devices without relying on a third-party service.

this is great, especially when our government starts tracking everything we do online.

great forward thinking if that was your intention.

I see that we face it all over the world now.
