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:
-
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.

People always mention nextcloud when it comes to syncing for e.g., Obsidian, but how do people use it with mobile? They never seem to actually use the local storage for anything, meaning you can't map a local folder for use in the application (assuming it does not have the option to use cloud services). I know thay syncthing does use actual local folders, but doesn't it use a fuck-ton of battery? I remember trying it a few years back and just could not due to it being a battery hog. Also tried the fork which helped but not by much.
I wish I could just use rsync but nooooo. Yes yes rooting is "possible", which might just break shit or you need to use some masking to hide root from application to and jesus christ why the fuck is everything so annoyingly locked down god dammit. Rant over.
Havant tried termux + rsync tho.
I'm using syncthing for logseq and koreader with unrestricted battery use on grapheneos, and my phone says it has used less than 1% of battery.
Really? Hmm interesting. Maybe I should take another peek at syncthing. Default settings or have you limited the sync frequency?
Defaults. And I have a vps set up as an encrypted sync target because all my devices aren't necessarily on and with a network connection at the same time.
Interesting, thanks!
I don't use obsidian. I use Joplin. It has nextcloud integration and works flawlessly.
For the rest (e.g. Tasks, Collaborate Office) I use DAVx5 and the nextcloud App to sync.
Oh yeah if it is integrated into the application then it's much easier for sure.
