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.

You have to run an LLM of your own and link it, if you want quality even close to approaching Google, but the Home Assistant with the Nabu Casa "Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition" speakers are working well enough for me. I don't use it for much beyond controlling my home automation components, though. But it's still very early tech anf it doesn't understand all that much unless you add a lot of your own configurations. I eventually plan to add an LLM, but even just running on the home assistant yellow hardware with a raspberry pi compute module 5 works ok for the basics though there is a slight delay.
I haven't tried, but Nabu Casa also offers a subscription service for the voice processing if you want something more robust and can't host your own LLM, but thst means sending your data out, even if they have good privacy policies, which I'm not interested in, because while I somewhat trust Nabu Casa's current business model and policies, being hosted in the US means it's susceptible to the current regime's police-state policies. I'm waiting for hardware costs to recover from the AI bubble to self host an LLM, personally.
