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.

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.
