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.

Syncthing is one of the best software I used. I use it to sync my notes.

Syncthing is like a base layer for a personal P2P system, beyond the basic file sync I use Syncthing to sync Joplin Notes, Money Manager Ex, KeePass, RetroShare and what ever else I can.

Soulseek, among others. Putting my ~400 GB classical music collection out there.

CumBroth and oldfart, thank you for being internet heroes. Soulless is the best.

Never heard of this, but it sounds really neat. Can it actually replace ddg in my daily life?

What is it? Why do you find it useful?

Sounds like a diff kind of IPFS.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Simply put,from the users perspective it's like IPFS but with the possibility to change the data without changing (and thus having to redistribute) the link.

It's also easy to set up and the sharing of data is not based on benevolent nodes but reciprocal sharing.

On a side note, it doesn't use any crypto or similar and is 100% decentralised and FOSS.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

It's basically FOSS hosting.

Are there Forums with the tenfingers URLs or how does this work?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

SoulSeek via Nicotine+ running on my NAS sharing my music, movies, and TV shows.

I feel like p2p applications aren't necessarily the ones you would be self hosting.

With that being said, I have thought about running a libp2p bootstrap node.
