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.

You're a legend!
Love this, thanks for your efforts! It has saved me a lot of time 👍
I’m self hosting wefwef, an Apollo-like, platform-agnostic Lemmy client.
Does that address some of the intermittent connection issues (e.g. “failed to save vote”)? I’ve been wondering if that’s a rate-limiting issue with the wefwef.app instance
Wefwef proxies requests so it's very likely rate limiting
Oh dope didn't realize that could be selfhosted
Unless I'm actively looking for a specific type of application, or to replace one I already run, I just check in on the subreddit periodically, just looking at the top posts from the past month or so.
I guess I'll start checking in on lemmy now.
There was a time, where I was checking for new stuff to selfhost almost daily. But at this point, I have what I want, and there is no point in trying to change a running system.
This was me when I started my journey; looking everywhere for anything that might peak an interest. Now that I've setup basically everything I wanted, the only time that I get something new is when I get curious and wonder if x can be self hosted.
I like to listen to the Self-Hosted podcast together with all the Late Night Linux family ones. That keeps me up to speed 🫶
