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.

Got the suggestion from a comment yesterday (I'll link when I find it) and I'd been using FreshRSS on it's own for a long time. Morss is a godsend for feeds that like to give you only the headline. It's also especially awesome for the Hackernews and Lobsters feeds because it will expand the posted links for you which I appreciate a great deal. Hosting it takes like 3 seconds and it's so worth it.

I have FreshRSS setup and running good. The only thing I can't figure out is how to scrape with xpath for websites that don't have rss. As I don't know how to code in Python or whatever language you need to know for xPath. I get nothing from Google regarding this. Is there a write-up somewhere for this? Any help would be appreciated.
