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:

  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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

While looking for Discord alternatives I came across this project which looks like a great alternative for the kinds of Discord servers centered around Open Source projects and organizations. Ones where live chat and voice rooms aren't the focus.

It's a combination of forums and knowledge base that would be perfect for this use case.

hmmmm seems to deploy fine but when I try to register a new account (per the setup instructions) I just get an unknown error.

The concept is promising, as I said before I've been wishing for an integrated forum/wiki for a while now, but it seems like it's very early days for this project.

The AI stuff has me bristling though. Not a fan.

thank you for sharing my product here! I grew up on forums, it's somewhat of a love letter to the mid 2000s I spent many hours of my youth with, happy to answer any questions on the project!
