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:

  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.

Is the selfhosted version able to also take email newsletters? I hate them and I'm using https://kill-the-newsletter.com/ to turn them into RSS, but I wish I had an all in one solution.

Also, is it fully FOSS or is it open core?

AGPL v3. Take that as you may. I'm *open *to changing it. I just wanted to give the project a chance to thrive without someone just hosting it as a paid app and calling it a day. That makes it so that if anyone does want to create a commercial product from this, they would need to offer up the source. My monetization plans only extend to possibly offering an additional plan on the hosted version to help cover hosting costs (which right now are $10 a month and I am covering that, it may become $30 a month if this gets popular).

AGPL works for me. Good to know.

I just avoid using "source available" and software that has artificially paywalled features, the most common paywalled feature is OIDC because most devs seem to think that it's a business only feature.

I pay for Home Assist Cloud, because I want to support them, every feature is available if I wanted to self host it. I freaking love them.

The only exception being Bitwarden, although they have paywalled features in their selfhosted builds I don't know of a better-for-me alternative. I could self-host Vaultwarden, but I pay for their subscription just because I want to support them.

My point is, if it's justified, I'll pay. Otherwise, I'll keep using standalone RSS apps on my devices and just backup my OPML every once in a while.
