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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Shell Commands are the primary tool I use to go about doing these things. I write the scripts to perform the action(s) desired and drop them on the local PC. The shell commands are then fired off from Home Assistant via SSH (either directly in the HA dashboard a la human interaction or through automations) or via my phone through Tasker or KDE Connect (as mentioned elsewhere.)
The trickiest bit for me was setting the correct environmental variables in the scripts but then it was an excellent learning opportunity! Best of luck OP and let me know if I can provide any more info.
