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.

Sync however you want. Syncthing, Nextcloud, Dropbox, Gdrive etc.
Syncthing is the way to leave Google Drive, etc.
Is there a proper syncthing android client now, after the official android client was discontinued?
Solid question; there are only third-party apps. A recent discussion in !syncthing@lemmy.ml led me to most recently adopt BasicSync, which is incredibly low-profile and is probably the closest thing we can get to it.
However... if you want to get as pure as possible, you can apparently run Syncthing's Linux version directly in Termux on Android without the need for a dedicated Android app. There are also entire alternatives to Syncthing like syncspirit (which can also be run through Termux and which I'm considering trying as well).
I use Nextcloud myself, but if people don't want to host a server or fuck with syncthing, they can sync it however they want as long as they use a strong enough master password/phrase (which they should be anyway.).
Oh, well, I'm talking about not having to password-lock and unlock your stuff constantly. For long-term storage, sure, that's fine; anything else would be way too tedious, though, no? I guess it depends on your use case and if you could locally automate the locking and unlocking or something.
I'm not sure what you mean. On my computer, I have to unlock the database every so often (you can set how long) with my master password. On my phone I unlock it with my fingerprint. The method of syncing the database is irrelevant.
