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.

Hey everyone,

Quick question out of curiosity.

I work as a manager in a consulting firm, and a lot of my day goes into communicating across platforms like Slack, WhatsApp, Teams, LinkedIn messages, etc. Switching between all of them sometimes feels a bit messy.

A couple of things I personally struggle with are important tasks getting buried in chats and constantly jumping between apps to keep up with conversations.

Would be great to hear how you handle this in your day-to-day work.

Unrelated to self hosting: jira or whatever ticketing system your company uses. They tend to have integrations into those other apps where you right click and create a ticket. Then the ticket list is my source of truth.

Yeah, makes sense, thanks for sharing.

Having a ticketing system as the source of truth for tasks and assignments is definitely helpful. But I still feel it lacks the live communication part across multiple platforms, so there’s still some switching involved.
