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.

I hardly ever see people talking about Pocketbase in threads like these, but as a dev I love it

For everyone else:

  • Realtime database
  • Authentication
  • File storage
  • Admin dashboard

What do you use it for and why do you like it over other databases

You don't hear a lot of talk because it's SQLite with a thin layer added on top (an SDK and some Oauth modules). You can achieve the same in 5 minutes with SQLite and a few NPM modules.
