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.

There is Cesium. But the thing you actually need is the actual maps. There are free maps (many of them based on OpenStreetMap), but the fidelity you know from Google Earth is usually not free. Also if you also want to self-host the actual maps you need a tile server for that and lots of disk space because these tiles take up a lot of it...

This looks cool as heck. I’ve got a few extra TBs and I only need my town, not like the whole east coast. I don’t mind throwing some dollars at this if it is able to keep me off Google. I really don’t like those guys lol
