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.

I'm running a <cough, cough> years old instance of Volumio 2 on a Raspberry Pi 3

The security of this is terrible, but it sits in my bedroom with a local USB drive full of music and works absolutely fine with a Nanosound DAC audio preamp hat / board which makes it sound lovely... which I don't want to change (it handles a remote control with power on / off)

When Volumio 3 came along, I wasn't impressed, didn't see the software improving much... it was starting to be more of a pull towards their subscriptions

So, I've left it alone and feel like it might be worth a revisit.

So, how's Volumio 4? Or... should I consider another FOSS product ( has to work with the same hardware).

I don't remember why but years ago I opted for Moode over Volumino. Just upgraded from a pi2 running Moode 8 to a pi3 on Moode 10. At some point they upgraded to a 64bit base os forcing my hardware update.

Local library from a Nas, Streaming sources , mpd controls , connects with many platforms, started using it with Home Assistant music server last summer running my outdoor speakers.

Ok, not heard of Moode. The website looks interesting, I'll check it out, thanks!
