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.

I'm trying to figure out how to host one myself. I'm trying to use barvarder and localai. But I am failing due to not enough knowledge and missing instructions. Any advice? did someone succeed with anything? I'd be happy to make other smaller steps at first as well. As long as I get somewhere.

If you want to be able to get into the nitty gritty or play with options besides just a chat, I recommend Text Generation WebUI.

Installing is pretty easy, then you just download your desired model from Hugging Face.

Or if you want to use it for roleplay or adventure style games, KoboldCPP is easy to set up.
