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.

For those who’ve never heard of us:

Libre Closet is a free, open-source, self-hosted wardrobe organizer - with client side garment image background removal. Catalog your clothes, upload photos, build outfits, and access everything from your phone as an offline-ready PWA - all on your own server.

We at Lazztech LLC have crafted and engineered this project with care and intention to be as easy to self-host as possible. It defaults to local SQLite storage and local file storage. It has optional auth/multi user support.

docker run -p 3000:3000 -v wardrobe-data:/data ghcr.io/lazztech/libre-closet:latest

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have, whether about the development choices we’ve made, or about the product itself. We’re excited to continue to build a community around this project.

For those already familiar, I’d like to share some progress updates. 

First, I’d like to introduce Leolazz, who’s joined the project as our 3rd core maintainer, alongside ShoshannaTM, and myself!  

Second, I’d like to share gratitude for the warm and supportive reception Libre Closet has continued to receive. It sincerely makes my day when we get a new feature request or comment about how users are enjoying it. Since the first post, we’ve gotten 234 Github stars, over 10.8k docker image pulls, multiple community PRs contributed, and many helpful issues filed.

No this is a fair question. I think I’ll add this to our sites about page.

I’ll also paste a couple paragraphs disclaimers I added to another reddit r/selfhosted post just to save my thumbs while typing this from my iPhone. Please feel free to ask any follow on questions though.

I am a senior software engineer with over a decade of experience and a similar amount of firsthand self-hosting experience. I built this project on top of a project boilerplate I made almost entirely by hand. I have used copilot to speed up development of this application on top of the boilerplate I made. So everything is built the way I want it, on top of my own architecture, technology, and design decisions. Check out my GitHub here if you're interested. https://github.com/gianlazz/

The features and quality improvements have been made with considerable time, engineering, and intention. While ShoshannaTM, Leolazz, and I are using copilot to accelerate development, substantial upfront deliberate design was done on our part before any feature development. Additionally, nothing is taken without thorough iteration and human review. We are professional software engineers. This project is not vibe coded. It is engineered and we take much pride in our craft and the quality of our work.
