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.

For people running a family chat in their #selfhosted #homelab: What is the system with the best mobile experience (both Android and iOS)? I've been using mattermost, but my family is not super excited about it. I'm thinking of running something else instead, but I don't want to test every single platform available

i spun up a snikket instance, with a domain and caddy, all that jazz.

the chat is really just about perfect.

we use the conversations xmpp app, and the only issue is that our phones don't really see that app as a respectable calling app. the phones let other sounds play over the call, like GPS voices, or if a regular call comes in while we're on a call, it hijacks the audio system until we decline or answer.

Otherwise it's been pretty sweet!
