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.

Currently I'm using Joplin with Syncthing-backed file system synchronization. I'm pretty pleased with it, as I do like tagging- and Markdown-based systems.

I plan to upgrade to server-based synchronization, but before doing that, however, I wanted to see what other people are using.

Edit: So far I see a slight favor towards Joplin and Logseq, but I totally didn't expect (and appreciate) getting so many different answers.

Historically I've been using Google keep or one note (I'm a monster I know). I've been trying to see if I can migrate over to Nextcloud notes as I slowly de-FAANG my life.

I find it interesting that every product from Google/MS/Apple/etc is inherently evil in implications from our community.

I don't mind OneNote, and like that it syncs to everything I use. I guess I've done IT/Infosec for 20+ years, so I don't hate everything MS does, just some things :)

Yeah, my "monster" comment was sarcasm. I'm in the same boat. I've been in IT for just as long and most places are Microsoft shops, with a little linux sprinkled in for flavor. I refuse to engage in the holy war. Msft, esp these days, makes decent tools and you can pry PowerShell from my cold dead hands. We use o365 at work and honestly OneNote is a solid product and does the job well.

For my personal life my note taking requirements are pretty basic and keep/onenote/etc... fits the bill. Esp since I share notes with my wife. But I'm a tinkerer at heart and I'd like to take more control of my services/data, so I'm experimenting with how much I can pull in without making my life overly and unnecessarily complicated.

Yeah, I'm still stuck on Google Keep, since it's the only one that's integrated with the (even worse) Google home

The convenience of saying, "Hey Google, add milk to my shopping list", and having that list shared with my wife, is too great. Long term goals would be to find a self-hosted alternative but right now that's where I am.

That being said I am trying to diversify as and pull in house what I can and notes is one of the things I've been experimenting with.
