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.

Jellyfin/Plex like many have mentioned.

I personally like Syncthing for petty much everything else. For general file syncing of course. But also with Joplin pointed to a synced directory for notes. With keepass as a password vault. With synced config directories for some apps across devices like newsboat for RSS, and neomutt for email. I also used to use it with rtorrent via a watch directory, though I currently am using a seedbox for that purpose.

VPN (openvpn/wireguard) is a good idea if you want to access your services outside your local network, without exposing them all globally.

Same, Syncthing is amazing. I use it with Mobius Sync on iOS and have it synching my keepass, Obsidian vault, photos, and a folder for random file transfers between devices. It’s so much better, faster, and more stable than all the most popular corporate cloud providers.

I believe Syncthing has been discontinued unless someone else took up the project.

[–] eramseth@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

This is absolutely not the case.

It doesn't really look dead anywhere on their repo or website: https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing Or are there different things with the same name? :)

Syncthing discontinued its android app on the play store.

[–] eramseth@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Just to be clear, what was discontinued was the official gui app.

Binaries are still updated and developed. The other gui app, syncthing-fork, still exists.

[–] hit_the_rails@reddthat.com 2 points 3 days ago

Both syncthing and syncthing-fork are on F-Droid.

That would suck if so since I obviously utilize it heavily but this doesn't seem to be the case? Latest release was just a month ago and their github repo is active.
