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.

Sensible, limiting scope and knowing your limits are wisdoms all too many lack. Having something that fills the text/sound/vidya needs and is easy to spin up will find uses, doesn't need to do everything.
To the end of being easy to spin up, which is likely to attract other developers in time if that's something you'd like, consider wrapping it up in a docker container. It's not that hard, basically follow your own instructions in a special docker build format.
Thank you for your feedback.
Honestly, there are a few more features I want to add like markdown/gif support, image/video uploads and user settings (push to talk, volume leveling, etc. are sorely needed) but outside of that and cleaning up bits of the UI, I'm terrified of creating an unwieldy codebase. I don't want something that requires constant tweaks and updates, just something that focuses on those core features and nails them down. You can just install it and pretty much forget about it.
Docker is definitely on my list, I was going to have a chat with one of my mates that lives in docker land to see if he could give me a hand setting it up properly. I've used docker before but mostly in hacky ways rather than something I'd be comfortable deploying to other people.
My only hope is that you include one weird nonstandard Markdown feature so you can come up with a name for your yet-another-almost-markdown-but-not-quite-standard-markdown version. Just because. :)
I think we can all agree coming up with names is not one of my key skills. Not following standards, however, is. Hold my beer, I got this.
