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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Interesting tool based on blocks to tag any document for photos you own. With app to allow access from any device. Blocks contains tags and links between them to organize all like a heap.
I haven't installed the self-hosted version yet to see how it can interact with an existing Obsidian vault. Next step.

Postgres? Sorry. If it needs a database, it's probably not for me. Can't be asked to keep another database backed up.

almost every self hosted service needs a database. and what "another" database? are you keeping separate postgreses for each service that wants to use it? one of the most important features of postgres is that it as a single database server can hold multiple databases, with permissions and whatnot

Most selfhosting services employ a database in their own docker (separate) container.

From previous interactions in this community, it seems all but obvious nowadays, when peoples' experience with sysadmin in average amounts to running scripts running docker in some form.

What is your struggle with db backups? Databasus makes it so trivial for me personally.

The fact that I have to use a more complicated tool than cd.

But how does changing the current directory backup your files???

Sorry, meant cp.
