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.

A simple question to this community, what are you self-hosting? It's probably fun to hear from each-other what services we are running.

Please mention at least the service (e.g. e-mail) and the software (e.g. postfix). Extra bonus points for also mentioning the OS and/or hardware (e.g. Linux Distribution, raspberry pi, etc) you are running on.

Paperless as a doc.manager is fantastic. My most useful service.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for the rec! I did try to install Paperless-ngx once, had an issue (I forget what now) and tried Papermerge instead (not impressed with that one). I'll have to have another go at getting it working.

yeah, jump back into it. there is also an android app that allows you to upload directly to it.

Long Time Developer always googling for specific tools when needed just learned about I.T. Tools. Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's great isn't it, so much useful stuff packed in! I love the excitement of discovering something new to host. :)

I've heard good things about Kavita for comic book management. Currently using calibre-web personally but i might switch eventually.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Good to hear! Yeah I was probably going to try Kavita and Komga though I've not really looked into what either can do yet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Would love to hear more if you get your comic manager running. I tried a few docker apps but couldn’t quite get into them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Will do! What did you find lacking in the ones you tried? I'm assuming Kavita, Komga, Mylar3? I'm mainly looking for something to check, fetch and correct metadata, though I may end up just doing all that on my desktop.

How are you liking shiori? I've not found a bookmark manager that's worth going through my horrible mess of bookmarks yet, but the offline archive option looks interesting.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To be honest I've not really used it very much, but it's functional and simple. I have nothing against it, other than "If I've not really used it, do I really need it?" (hence it being on my "Undecided" list.
It's worth mentioning the docker hub image is very out of date, but the github is active as someone else took over.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That is worth mentioning, thanks. I probably would have missed it and thoughtbit wasn't active.
