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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

We're sort of in this situation because the official project decided not to continue providing an official Android app, yet people want to use it on Android forcing unofficial versions to be created and maintained.
I get that they don't want to deal with Google Play anymore, but somebody has to deal with it and them not owning the app is putting users at risk.
Was that the reason? Shame they didn't just leave it on F-Droid and GitHub then. Nobody needs to use Google Play (at least not yet...)

According to this post, it was partly that and lack of maintainers. Given there's maintainers for a fork, I'm curious why they didn't bring them into the main project.
