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.

Like soup-to-nuts. I know I need to document what I'm doing and I've started several times, but then I never go back and make updates. I don't know if it's just the ADHD or if I'm just going about it or thinking about it in the wrong way.

So I'm curious about:

  • what you use for your documentation
  • how you organize it
  • what information you include
  • how you work documentation into your changes/tinkering flow

Edit: Dang, folks! You all have given me a lot to read through, think about, and explore. Thank you!

Dokuwiki

https://wiki.gardiol.org/

For me for future memory and for others who might need it

Using Mediawiki here.

I have obsidian and tried using it, but my personal workflow for my homelab just doesn't...work with it? Idk, it's just easier to throw it into a private wiki.

I still use obsidian but for personal life stuff.

BTW, this gent's wiki is worth a bookmark. Stumbled on it before I knew the originator.

Thanks you, it means a lot. Just to be clear for whomever didn't go there: there is zero monetization, no ads, no profiling.

Yeah, I'm currently using Wiki.js. I will definitely check out how you've got things organized. It looks really good!

I am using wiki. Is for a different project and I can't say I really prefer it over dokuwiki. They both have good points. I don't like the php dependency of dokuwiki but wikijs feels a bit overcomplex.
