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 love LubeLogger. I've totally switched both my and my wifes cars to it for tracking gas mileage and maintenance.

If anyone would like, I can share how I got ntfy notifications working with it for maintenance reminders.

My only beef with LubeLogger (and it's a pretty minor one, given it's just the one dev) is the lack of a mobile app. I've used aCar since 2012. I have years of data logged, and IMO, having periodic reminders and widgets available at a single tap is a bit more favorable than a PWA.

I am very curious about ntfy though. Please do share.

You install the ntfy app on your phone and subscribe to channels which then can/will alert.

I poked around and it's a bit more involved than that.

You can use their public server if you want, otherwise you can spin up your own on a cheap/free VPS.

Ntfy's public server costs money. Something that's need-to-know when suggesting an app to someone who's curious about its functionality.

I already have a small cluster that I run shit on, so that's they way I would take.

I know that I'll be downvoted to hell , but I would love to integrate it with OCR and an LLM , such that uploading the garage treatment summary would auto-create the necessary records.

Is there EV support?

Does anyone know about any other self-hosted/open source projects that are like this? As in, "everyone" could find these useful?

Other ones I know about are Mealie (cookbook) and Warracker (Warranty Tracker).

I tried Firefly but sadly had to give it up. Every action felt like such a slog to do and overkill for what I wanted. I love tracking in detail but it was a bit much even for me. At the end of the day I just want to track in/out + categories and put this data in a few charts. I still find my spreadsheet is better at that.

I moved over to actualbudget! It’s way more intuitive to me and the the simplefin integration my bank transactions are automatically imported

nobody should have to deal with kubernetes when it comes to vehicle maintenance.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

I run this on a simple docker instance.
