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.

Hi all,

I run a private self-hosted Synapse server with bridges for:

  • Signal
  • WhatsApp
  • Doscord
  • IRC
  • Google Voice
  • Custom APIs

I am thinking of switching to XMPP. Can anyone recommend a good Docker-based server and transport combo that I could test out?

The Signal gateway has currently issues, due to Signald being broken.

For WhatsApp and Discord there is Slidge.

IRC works great with Biboumi.

I am not aware of a Google voice bridge, but there are ways to bridge to the regular phone network and sms. The easiest is the https://jmp.chat/ service.

How is signald broken? I'm using it with Matrix now just fine.

I think you can't connect new devices or so and the development has stalled. But I don't use Signal personally, so not 100% sure. AFAIK the Matrix bridge is currently being rewritten with another backend.

Ahh, just realized the Mautrix Signal bridge I use no longer requires SignalD
