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.

Is anyone currently self hosting an Anytype backup node? In case you don't know, Anytype is a privacy focused, local first note app. Can be found in anytype.io. Their docs give informartion on how to self host. I only have a laptop, so I'm trying to create a node in a VirtualBox VM, using Vagrant to automate box creation and provision. Sorry if the post is messed up, first timer here.

Just wanted to chime in and give a +1 to Anytype. While I haven't self-hosted the backup node and I can't help you with that just yet, the fact that a free, P2P decentralized, end-to-end encrypted and source-available notes app like Anytype even exists is awesome!

I'd be curious to see if you manage to get the backup node up and running πŸ‘€

I can't configure everything yet, but my Vagrantfile can install and activate most of the dependecies on a Fedora Box from Bento (the Hashicorp, developer of Vagrant, builds those optimized system images). Activating Redis with RedisBloom plugin from boot is prooving tricky. After setting the dependencies, I need to configure Ansible and then export the node settings to be used in the app. It'll take me some time. I'll let you know.
