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.

Obvious next question: how’s the privacy policy on 3rd party stereo makers like Pioneer, Kenwood, Alpine, Jensen, etc.?

Why risk it? Build your own with a raspberry pi and a touchscreen.

This is what I want, but they make it very difficult to build something with parity unless you're willing to sniff CANBUS codes one by one

This would only be necessary for cars with climate control in the touchscreen right?

Or if you have other features you don't want to downgrade. For example, my 2016 Mazda has errors, oil status, and a bunch of other system info accessed through the headunit.

But I'm a little data-obsessed right now, so I acknowledge I might be the weirdo

Got a link to a good project of that type? I've been thinking about this recently.

[–] themeatbridge 3 points 1 year ago

I haven't done it myself, so I hesitate to recommend a specific project. But Carpi and OpenAuto are good places to start.

Should be better since they usually don't have an uplink capability. But be real careful of any model that has Internet for any reason.
