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.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Are there any a|ternatives to n8n?
The helpfully named site AlternativeTo is good for such questions. It's populated by users and served me well over the years.
IFTTT and Zapier are the primary non-self-hosted alternatives, both have been around for ages and have lots of available integrations.
Node-RED and Huginn are the self-hosted alternatives. Huginn is older than both n8n and Node-RED, afaik, and seems to be primarily focused on online queries like updates to a webpage.
In the end I haven't used any of the self-hosted ones, since I'm more of a code guy, so can't say if one is better than another for anything.
I tried Huginn first but I found the documentation better for n8n, and it was easier to use.
