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.

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.

No trolling.

Make sure any cameras you get are ONVIF compatible. That'll give you the widest usability.
And while it's great to be self-hosted, I've never found anything as good as BlueIris for camera software, even if it does cost $50/yr. I run it in a Dockurr/windows container, there's a few projects out there that make Dockur easier to set up.
I personally use Frigate, which is default free, but has a plus tier for $50 a year (has custom AI training/models instead of default’s standard model).
Personally has all the features I’d want, curious what BlueIris brings, I’ve heard a bit about it.
I'd have to look at Frigate again, but I've used BI for a few years now for myself and neighbors that I've installed livestock monitoring cameras for. The phone app is quite good, it does very reliable recognition via Deepstack, it's compatible with so many cameras it isn't funny, and the automations are very extensive. Setting up schedules is pretty intuitive.
The geofencing is terrible, but that's about my biggest complaint with it, besides having to install it on a Windows VM. I did have it working in Wine years ago, but it wasn't very stable.
Right on, never heard of it, will check it out for sure....thanks!
