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.

When I go on vacation I prefer to keep my smartphone with WiFi and mobile data off, but I really don't like the way Spotify handle offline content. Most of the time it doesn't download everything and when I do a research, it show me even content that's not available offline (how can it do that?). Is there a selfhosted service that I can use to download my playlists and play them with an Android app that can download them?

I don't know that the specific thing you want is available (Spotify but it has better downloading).

However, the tool I linked (zotify) does let you download playlists from Spotify (as files). Then you can put the files into a self hosted tool for the actual listening. If you're mainly using Spotify and trying to get songs to be synced to another service for offline use then that seems like a lot of work.

If you're willing to pay, you could just try a different service (Tidal, Qobuz, or Apple/Google offerings) and see if you like them better.
