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'd like to host a game night for friends and family where we play games like jackbox. I'd like to self host the service and give anyone a url and possibly a user name/password combination to access it. I'd like audio and video support as well as the ability to screen share and have a text chat option. I know there are a couple of services that do some of these things but does anyone know of an option that part offers all of this?

It might sound crazy, but nextcloud actually can do all of that. It's pretty easy to activate if you already have a nextcloud instance. Just enable nextcloud talk app on your nextcloud instance, and maybe add a stun/turn server to make it works through double nat.

After the stability issues I’ve heard. I wouldn’t even consider nextcloud for my family at this point.

What kind of stability issue? I've been running mine for 3 years and hasn't seen any yet.

Multiple threads people have mentioned random crashing, DB issues and nonsense/useless log outputs that don’t help find a cause and just require you to restore from backup.

No way I’d consider it for business use.

Strange, probably due to some installed apps/plugins. I don't install too many apps/plugins on my instance and it's still rock solid to this day. Just like wordpress, most of the security and performance complains are usually due to 3rd party plugins/apps.

Possibly. What i was hearing seemed more like some weird DB/code gremlin thing. But I dunno. Literally never run it.

Also i think the deployment type was invovled. Maybe it was a docker specific thing??

It may be from it being ran on SQL Light. You can and should setup with a dedicated SQL server instead. From my experience it’s quite snappy as long as the docker container is ran off of SSDs.
