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 tried it but it's pretty complex compared to tubesync and uses weird af filenames, unusable for media servers

Yeah, the weird filenames bothers me, too. It does take a hit to data portability, for sure. I'm not using it for some kind of long-term, bomb-proof YouTube archiving, but more to have offline access to instructional videos I might need in the near future. For that, the UI and integration with Jellyfin works well for me.

If I was actually collecting youtube videos, I would go with something else that generates human-friendly folders and filenames! I'll bookmark Tubesync :)
