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.

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.

Instructions here: https://github.com/ghobs91/Self-GPT

If you’ve ever wanted a ChatGPT-style assistant but fully self-hosted and open source, Self-GPT is a handy script that bundles Open WebUI (chat interface front end) with Ollama (LLM backend).

Privacy & Control: Unlike ChatGPT, everything runs locally, so your data stays with you—great for those concerned about data privacy.
Cost: Once set up, self-hosting avoids monthly subscription fees. You’ll need decent hardware (ideally a GPU), but there’s a range of model sizes to fit different setups.
Flexibility: Open WebUI and Ollama support multiple models and let you switch between them easily, so you’re not locked into one provider.

Have been using it a while now, I recommend using something like Tailscale so you can access it from anywhere on your phone. I also have a raspberry pi that can wake up my main machine when I need it.
