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.

**#A quick edit to address something important and provide a disclaimer: **

Thank you all for your feedback! This project was "vibecoded" with Cloude AI and serves more as a "proof of concept" for what could be achieved with AI assistance. I'm just a tech enthusiast, and I'm excited to continue exploring new possibilities. I understand there’s a real concern about “AI Slop,” but that's exactly why I’m sharing this project with you all so that experts who are interested in the idea can offer guidance or even help improve it.

I’ve noticed that many people with home labs prefer to update their applications manually instead of relying on other apps that automate the process. Often, they have to check each one individually. That’s where Vigil comes in. The primary function of Vigil is to centralize the information and give users clear visibility of which applications are outdated, their current version, and the newer version available from several sources. This way, you can decide what and when to update.

To be honest, I hope it ends up being useful to others as it is for me.

If you have a few minutes, I’d really appreciate you trying it out and leaving a review or suggestions on the repo or even here. I'd do my best to answer most of the comments.
