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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I love me some opensource applications, but nothing compares to Blue Iris in the software NVR space. It isn't as much as a halfway decent camera, and if you don't renew it after one year, you just lose access to updates, and you can catch up if you renew before that major version goes away. I run BI on a Dockur Windows container on a Linux server, and use Deepstack in another container to supply the AI object recognition to BI, it's much lighter weight than the included Code Project AI they ship with it.
As for cameras, you want something that specifically says they're ONVIF capable. Everything else will be some shitty chinese spyware you have to install. And get wired cameras that have 802.11af/at specced POE. There's a lot of trash out there that says it's POE and it's some bastardized thing that's not compatible with most POE switch voltages.
