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.

4 months in my database takes up around 50GB; for the size of a few hi-res movies it's worth it for me...

How's it better than Jackett that is scanning public trackers? Can you find something you wouldn't find otherwise? I understand the problem Bitmagnet tries to solve, but to me the problem is rather hypothetical than real.

Can you find something you wouldn’t find otherwise?

Yes, quite a lot of content that's otherwise difficult to find on the public trackers. Also public trackers can be shut down.
