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.

0.9 is out.

Quick context if this is your first time: Ideon is a self-hosted visual workspace, an infinite canvas where you drop blocks for your Git repos, notes, tasks, files, and now automation. Everything about a project in one place.

The last release post ended with "move from visibility to control." This is the start of that.

Webhook block: drop one on the canvas, it becomes a live HTTP endpoint. CI pipeline finishes, monitoring alert fires, form submits, POST to the URL and Ideon reacts. Configure what happens: set a block's visual state, change its color, create a Kanban task, prepend text to a note. Runs server-side, no open browser tab needed.

Cron block: same action set, triggered on a schedule instead of an event. Preset or custom cron expression.

LaTeX block: several people asked for it. Write $...$ or $$...$$, toggle preview, done. Turned out to look better on the canvas than I expected.

Proxy / Header Auth: probably the most relevant one for this crowd. Already running Ideon behind nginx mTLS, Traefik, or Authelia? You can now configure it to read user identity straight from the headers your proxy injects. No OAuth round-trip, no separate IdP. A few env vars, and all auth events still go to the audit log.

Still open source, still self-hosted only.

Well in his defense, that language was sorta AI generated. Very glad the project isn’t. This looks like something I’m very interested in.
