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.

One of the best pieces of self-hosted software ever to exist.
Edit: This is Immich! for the folks who don't know.
The ML is really good. Google's Face recognition is over-confident sometimes and is difficult to remove the tagged faces and add correct ones. Immich's is very accurate and if it misses something I can just add them — 1 step instead of 2 with Google's.
Also, if it turns out that immich misses too many faces, or has too many false positives, or creates too many different persons for one face, or groups different persons together, you can tune that. You can set the threshold values for all these things, or just use a different ML model and reanalyse your whole library. Even on an older CPU without any special ML features, it takes less than a night to reanalyse a hundred thousand pictures or so.
also, it's just stating the obvious, but it's not on a company's server that will sell all your info to the highest bidder
