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.

If your looking for a remote access to a desktop/GUI Rustdesk.com Is a quick and easy option. Mesh Central is also a good but a little more involved as you need to setup a central server.

There are a few others options if you have a VPN access. Like XRDP servers that lets you use RDP clients, or you can use VNC as well.

I second RustDesk, I've started using it a lot lately and it works quite well even across the internet and NAT. Works best if you have your own server that you can use as a relay rather than direct connection or using RustDesk's own limited public servers, but even without it, it gets the job done.
