Selfhosted

40313 readers

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.

There are a ton of options listed on the Awesome Selfhosted list. I'm on the search for a FOSS option that I can use to document my homelab and personal tech projects.

Right now, I'm leaning towards wiki.js

Bookstack is really nice and user friendly. It's probably one of my favorites.

Dokuwiki is simple and stores files in plaintext.

I haven't used wiki.js much but I've heard good things about it too.

Another option if you don't need to share the wiki with anyone would be a note tool like Trilium. It has built in support for stuff like mermaid or excalidraw diagrams.

Don't forget to setup backups for whatever wiki you do go with, and make sure you can restore them when your wiki is broken ;)
