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.

I'd like to sync my markdown notes between devices (laptop and phone), which service is better: Nextcloud or Syncthing? Any other important idea I should know?, like latency times, or maximum number of synced devices, what if I edit the same note from both places without internet and then both get connected to a network... For example, I know Nextcloud let me have a history of the notes.

Thanks, I'll give a try! I was thinking maybe I could use both: syncthing for devices and nexcloud to have a backup

Nextcloud isn't a backup solution, so I wouldn't go that route.

For backups look at Restic, Kopia, or Borg. They work great and are very lightweight.

Why do you think that Nextcloud is not a good backup solution?

I had some files which rot away over the years, who knows which update borked them, i use it as a cache for real backups for important files
