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’ve been using the CarFAX Car Care app/website for a long time but I’m looking for something better.

It would be nice to have something I can enter my car make/model into and have it suggest maintenance but also keep track of repairs. I like uploading PDF scans of receipts too; one thing that always bothered me about Car Care is the horrible, weird compression it does on those files.

I'm running it. It's good. Tracks fuel mileage, PMs and repairs and can remind you of things either by time or mileage.

Ahhh, I'd love it if I could tie that in with a Bluetooth OBD dongle and Home Assistant. It'd be awesome if I could set up a BLE proxy in my carport to automatically update stuff. It'd be especially handy if I could get alerted about check engine codes.

Yeah, I’ve been looking for this as well. I’ve got a constant check engine light because the catalytic converter is dead, and that’s about the only thing on the car I don’t care about.

Oh cool, this looks like something I'd really like. I've been using a paid Android app called Simply Auto which is excellent, but self hosting is more fun.

Looks great but that is not a good name for an application

For what it's worth, you can replace the name in most locations: https://docs.lubelogger.com/Replacing%20The%20Logo.

I finally gave this a go a few days ago but wasn’t in love with the UI. I’d contribute but it’s written in .NET.

I’ll probably build something myself. One thing I’d like to do is have it integrate with other APIs (like Paperless).

Appreciate the circle back!
