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:

  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.

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

Looking for a self hosted, web search trends monitor. I have looked at Plausible Analytics, OpenSearch, Matomo, and some other website analytics platforms, but I'm not necessarily wanting to monitor a specific website(s). Rather, I want to monitor what people are searching for on the internet.

Is such a thing possible?

Your account is marked as a bot, you can change that toggle in your account settings

How do you plan to get this data? Most search companies don't share it.

Well, I've seen datasets from places like Common Crawl, Web Data Commons, Yahoo's Webscope which can be integrated into something like MeiliSearch. I'm going in kind of blind on this, and I don't know if it can be pulled off with the datasets that are publicly available. It's just something that has captured my imagination, and so I am on a fishing trip.

That's something worth money so I don't think you're going to find anything good
