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.

Quick! Someone add it to Open Slopware!
It seems like the criteria for making it on there is fairly lax. Nextcloud makes a list by simply having an AI assistant as an optional (user-facing) feature, while none of the actual code appears to be AI-generated.
Even if the "has an optional AI assistant" was not a thing, the repo includes an AGENTS.md file, which is also listed in the criteria, and more than qualifies it as slopware.
I’d be easier to make a list of all software that doesn’t use any AI at this point
Especially since it is actually listed as an alternative to calibre there
That list is depressing
Holy shit I almost whish I didn't read through that list...So sad to see so many projects go down this path...
"No, anti AI people aren't technophobic"
Meanwhile anti AI people:
Man this list is depressing. Good to have handy though. Sad to see SearXNG and a few others on here.
Seriously... kitty, rawtherapee, keepassxc, python, the freaking linux kernel!
Did you read about kernel they are experimenting with using it for reviews. They have some prompts for LLM to catch issues before it gets to maintainers so it frees up time. Don't see an issue if that is all it is.
It might be, but for some people that might, understandably, be already bad enough, a line in the sand if you will.
I'm reminded of this statement about LLMs and the kind of people who use them in the first place. It's an early indicator that quality (and sovereignty) of the software is going to go the incline down.
Searxng? Fuck, guess I'm just not pulling a new container.
There is this that popped up the other day, but I haven't looked into it at all to see if it's vibecoded or not: https://github.com/fccview/degoog
Thanks, will dig into this!
Booklore is listed as an alternative to Calibre 😭
Wait Calibre is there????? Oh my god no.
Fortunately this exists
Damn it!!! 😵
@lambalicious @jasonweiser Not sure seafile should be listed as an alternative. We couldn't include it on Debian due to copyright sketchiness/plagerism...

Geez... problems never end, do they.
I'm barely active in Codeberg. Unless someone beats me by, say, end-of-month, I might file an issue about it; that said, I'd like to be able to offer at least one (1) functional alternative rather than simply +1'ing to the complains that this or that is Never Good Enough.
@lambalicious Syncthing is what I replaced seafile with, fwiw. Works great!
