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.

There are a few apps that I think fit this use case really well.
Languagetool is a spelling and grammer checker that has a server client model. Libreoffice now has built in languagetool integration, where it can acess a server of your choosing. I make it access the server I run locally, since archlinux packages languagetool.
Another is stirling-pdf. This is a really good pdf manipulation program that people like, that comes as a server with a web interface.
Thanks, I'll check languagetool. stirling pdf already has a desktop client, although I don't know if it offers the same functionality (but I would expect it).
