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.

I got distracted from my work so I made some Continuwuity propaganda. Continuwuity is a lightweights Matrix chat server that you can self-host pretty easily. Give it a try :3

The project is the "official community continuation of the conduwuit homeserver". Conduwuit was a popular matrix backend until the project was archived.

Although interestingly, conduwuit says the official continuation is Tuwunel. interesting

It is primarily sponsored by the government of Switzerland 🇨🇭 where it is currently deployed for citizens.

Now this, I like!

Github, not so much

I find it hilarious that a government is sponsoring something with "UwU" in the name.

That is slightly misleading, they are/were sponsored by epost.ch / Swiss Post AG, which is a limited company.

Could you explain to us why you would recommend your project over tuwunel.

I avoid getting involved in these discussions, but previously on lemmy

Okay, I don't know the history. It is unfortunate to not have project differences spelled out, because the truth is most of us know nothing about these things. Sounds like a no, but would it be possible for the projects to collaborate?

Considering the most recent is their lead developer getting banned from all Matrix Foundation rooms for CoC violations, the answer there is still no.

I've been using Tuwunnel since Conduwuit ceased developpment and I haven't been able to find a reason to switch to Continuwuity yet.

Maybe this one should be named altuwunative.
