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.

I've never ran this program, but skimmed the documentation. You should be able to use the
SHIORI_DIR
(or a custom database table following those instructions) along with the-p
argument for launching the web interface. A simple bash script that should work:To run multiple versions, I'd suggest setting up each instance as a service on your machine in case of reboots and/or crashes.
Now for serving them, you have two options. The first is just let the users connect to the port directly, but this is generally not done for outward facing services (not that you can't). The second is to setup a reverse proxy and route the traffic through subdomains or subpaths. Nginx is my go-to solution for this. I've also heard good things about Caddy. You'll most likely have to use subdomains for this, as lots of apps assume they are the root path without some tinkering.
Edit: Corrected incorrect cli arguments and a typo.
Is it ok to just run a few instances with just different port numbers and environment variables? Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I thought some isolation was needed, even planned on running the instances as different users. Also, thank you for the detailed explanation.
