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.

How's your stuff doing? Unplanned interruptions or achieving uptime records?

I'm currently sailing rather smooth. Most of my stuff is migrated to Komodo, there will stay some exceptions and I only have to migrate Lemmy itself I think. Of course that's when I found a potential replacement but I'll let it sit for a while before touching it again. Enjoying the occasional Merge Request notification from the Renovate Bot and knowing my stuff is mostly up to date.

I'm thinking about setting up some kind of Wiki for my other niche hobby (Netrunner LCG) lore as there's a fandom one that most people avoid touching and updating but since I likely won't have time to start writing some articles on my own as a kickoff I'm hesitant. Also not sure which wiki I'd choose as well.

It grew from a nice Owncloud fork into a do-it-all groupware solution by adding on more and more things without really improving the basis. Each version the performance gets a little worse, syncing gets stuck more often, etc.

Opencloud looks or at least looked good as it started out as an Owncloud Infinite Scale fork, but of course they're adding on more and more groupware stuff without improving the core first. Maybe we're doomed to witness the same cycle with each solution, who knows.

Also, Nextcloud/Owncloud are written in PHP, that might also have a significant impact on its poor reliability ^^

When I ran Nextcloud, it broke every other update. Mostly because NC didn't seem to care that anyone had a 7-year-old install being migrated along.

Aside from being hella slow, I just don't like that it can't use the same directories as my network shares and requires uploading. This script might help but honestly I just stick to the basic shares because of this
