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.

Anyone have any good suggestions for a simple, multi-user tasks App? I used Keep for a long while, and have been using Nextcloud for the past few years...but every Nextcloud upgrade lately it seems I hit new bugs and since I don't use Nextcloud for a while lot else I'm considering just parting ways with it.

That all being said, requirements I'm looking for would be the following:

  • Easily accessible on iOS and Android (native app is a big plus)
  • Simple interface with basic checkmark boxes that you can check off and the task disappears to some sort of "completed" list. No fancy markdown/etc. needed
  • Ability to share certain 'lists' with other users, so my wife and I can see shared lists
  • A Web UI is another huge plus
  • Self hosted is big obviously, but at the end of the day I just want something simple and reliable

If Nextcloud tasks is still among the better options I'll keep limping it along just figured I might as well see if anything new has popped up since I last went down this road. Thanks all!

With EteSync you can share calendars and tasks. Apps like Tasks.org can communicate with EteSync (on Android at least, i don't know how the support is on iOS). The devs also provide a (Web UI, which can also be self-hosted.

The main feature of EteSync is end-to-end encryption, you can also self-host it.

Tasks.org is great. I use it with a CalDAV server.

I suggest Vikunja. There isn't a mobile app to my knowledge, but the web UI on mobile and desktop is very responsive. It should cover the rest of the items on your list

There's an app. It's still pretty early though, so they haven't put it on any of the stores yet.

There's an app, just not published to any of the stores yet.

Vikunja is the only viable thing. CalDAV spec allows to assign tasks, but we got XMPP moment here - spec exists, but almost no apps implement it properly.

Also you may take a look at https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#task-management--to-do-lists

Microsoft ToDo or Zenkit Tasks. Neither are self hosted but they work perfectly with multiuser setups.
