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.

Are you using LLMs as search engines?
Bold.
I use Gemma, LLama 3.2, and Deepseek to either fix formatting, summarize documentation to give me commands for Linux software, and write simple code structure for me to refine into working code.
Sure it takes longer to generate than a cloud compute would, but
privacy obviously. I know you dismissed it but that's really the biggest reason anyone will have.
this feels better environmentally. I actually don't know if that's true, but it objectively touches less computers for such simple tasks. It would be wasteful of infrastructure to do it over the web.
it's just cooler to have a conversation with my computer. I've learned a lot about how the whole process works and that's more valuable to me as a non dev than just getting the end results.
