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.

How I self hosted wefwef on macOS with Docker (self.selfhosted)

I posted this as a comment in the wefwef community but thought it might also be relevant here. If anyone is interested in self hosting wefwef this is how I did it on macOS:

Start by installing Docker desktop

Open Terminal and type in:

docker pull ghcr.io/aeharding/wefwef:latest

Then, you need to use a Docker run command like below to get things started. In this example, I put my local IP in as "192.168.1.2" but you'll need to adjust that value to whatever your machine's IP is.

docker run --rm -d -p 192.168.1.2:5314:5314 -e "CUSTOM_LEMMY_SERVERS=lemmy.world,sh.itjust.works,lemmy.ml" ghcr.io/aeharding/wefwef:latest

At that point, I went to my iPhone, opened Safari and went to 192.168.1.2:5314 and boom, there's wefwef. Install this as PWA and name it (local) or something to differentiate it from the normal wefwef and you're good to go.

Disclaimer: I’m brand new to all of this so I’m sure this isn’t the best way. But it got me started, so I wanted to share.

What happens when a new update is available? Do we need to run the docker again? (Noob here :( )

If you're using the tag latest then you would need to re-pull the image and restart your docker container.

All this stuff is really hard to grasp for me :( I have deployed a portainer stack of 4 apps (plex setup) and i get updates for Plex every once in a while.. The only issue is that i have no idea how i got it to work but im sure that if i try updating it wont work :( im very unlucky when it comes to technical stuffs and life lmao.
