Selfhosted

56957 readers

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.

Just came across this, and thought it was a pretty cool tool to self-host. You can use it to monitor price changes, or new events being added, or to check if that out of stock thing is back in stock.

I could never get this to work right nearly every website would fail because of captchas

Depends if your outgoing is a local address or if you're going through a vpn.
I rarely run into the issue on the former, almost always on the latter.
I think there's a way to hook a solver on top of it, but I could be mistaken, haven't done so myself.

Yeah, that's always a struggle with scraping, lots of sites don't like it, even if you try and be respectful.
