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.

What hardware do you use for Nextcloud?
I’m willing to finally get my own cloud using #Nextcloud but I have zero clue about which hardware I should choose for home storage. It would be used for domestic stuff, such as photos, music, movies and files, for the whole family, not necessarily for work

People are down voting me because they've pledged their soul to the monolith of shitty plugins.

Even if you want all the pieces there's way better versions of them than what you get in nextcloud. Also depending on how many devices you need libreoffice on, might be easier just to run a syncthings instance and sync the files that way. Its what I'm doing for obsidian and its awesome.

Alternatively theres also this but I can't vouch for it as I haven't set it up yet

My main use case here is using it on my phone. I used to use Google Sheets a lot on my phone, and I want to replicate that without Google. LibreOffice Online works through NextCloud, but I really don't need the extra features, so I'm going to get it set up through Seafile.

I also may want to share a sheet or something with someone else so we can both edit it, but that's not a hard requirement.

Lemme know how seafile works for you. I'm going to be replacing google cloud myself soon
