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.

Hey,

I know it sucks to rely on cloud services but it is what it is. I use Apple iCloud, Bitwarden and GitHub.

Technically, I could self-host all three but I want my backups not at my place or at least have them in both places cloud/at home.

I do have two spare Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and one small computer with an old i5 / 8 GB RAM.

What do you personally self-host?

/c/piracy would probably be a better resource for you. The few comments from that side I've seen mostly indicate torrenting through VPN and using an arr stack.

I mostly go garage sale hunting combined with refusing to buy anything with DRM. My library probably is not as extensive as what you would have if you are a movie or TV aficionado. I use it for movies, tv shows, and music. It's been great so far. Paired with Finamp as a player on my phone and Supersonic on the desktop I can get around the otherwise somewhat awkward music library management. I love the show and movie default interface.

Note, I believe Jellyfin is also starting to do books. I have not tried it in that application yet.
