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.

I'm completely new to selfhosting but see a lot of potential. I wonder if anyone knows a good way to self host a notetaking app? The point is that I need to access my notes on multiple devices so self hosting them could be a nice idea. I currently use google keep and goodnotes but would like to leave those behind...

I've been getting on well with notesnook, the self hosting is in beta right now but its just a docker container. Docs are coming for self hosting in the near future.

https://notesnook.com/

The criteria for me when I was looking for a notes app were:

  • self hosted
  • e2e encrypted
  • supports images and other rich media as well as text
  • can use markdown for text formatting
  • supports mobile as well as some desktop interface
  • can make lists with checkable boxes
  • background sync

Notesnook hits all of these. I wish it had a dedicated desktop app but that's something I can just use a browser window for.

Notesnook has a desktop app. Does it not work with self hosted implementation?
