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.

Quick update for anyone following the project. NutriTrace is a self-hosted nutrition tracker I've been building. Single Docker container, your data stays on your hardware, no external accounts.

This release ships the first native Android app alongside the existing PWA. Signed APK is attached to the GitHub release.

What you get on Android:

  • Standalone, or connect it to a NutriTrace server for sync
  • Health Connect for steps, sleep, heart rate, body weight
  • Native barcode scanning
  • Native notifications for water reminders, meal prompts, weigh-ins, and goal celebrations
  • OIDC SSO via deep link if you run Authentik, Keycloak, Pocket ID, etc.

Release: https://github.com/TraceApps/nutritrace/releases/tag/v1.0.0-rc.14 Repo: https://github.com/TraceApps/nutritrace

Still on the v1.0 release-candidate cadence so there will be be bugs. Please feel free to post issues here or on Github.

Thanks to everyone who's tried it, provided suggestions and filed bugs along the way. If you find it useful, a star on the repo or a mention to someone looking for a self-hosted nutrition/fitness alternative helps a lot.

I like the app. Thanks for sharing.

trying to reduce the explicit drinking water target based on what you ate

I think this is/ was my plan, yes.

This is not a feature request. I was just wondering where the water intake is tracked. As part of a recipe or food would've felt natural to me. Hence the question. I missed the water sub tab in the diary tab's top right corner.

My feedback:
Cooked noodles, soft drinks, a cup of coffee with sugar, a glass of water with lemon juice, protein shakes would be examples for "watery" food.

Right now one can keep track of the nutrients + fibre + x in food in one calculation. And then there is a second tracking just for water.

Two lists feel more complicated than one list. To add a cup of coffee I need to add the nutrients part (sugar, coffein, fat) as a food entry in the diary tab + a cup of water in the water sub tab.

Currently no, there's no per-food water field in NutriTrace, and food water doesn't count toward your daily water goal.

Thanks. Fine by me. :)
I could add a custom nutrient "water" to my foods and recipes to achieve what I planned. Or I just ignore water intake tracking.

Glad the workaround clicked. Custom-nutrient "water" plus your own recipes is the cleanest path for comprehensive accounting without waiting on a built-in feature.

The "two lists feels more complicated than one" observation is fair and worth sitting with. Ill add this as a possible future feature

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback.
