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.

Like instapaper or Firefox's readability function. Something I can pitch a url too and get back a stripped down version of the article with a shareable URL. No idea if this exists.

Have you seen Wallabag? Used it for years, never figured out how to install it easily.

Recently moved on to Shiori, it’s been smooth sailing.

I like how easy Shiori is to install and the UI is much more responsive than Wallabag (could be a config/install issue) but it does have some annoyances too:

  • No mobile app (I think there is an abandoned third party client though)
  • Session expires frequently in the Firefox extension, requiring frequently going into extension settings
  • No koreader support for e-readers etc

But it is actively developed and it's the most promising alternative to Wallabag in my view.

I use Wallabag. It was easy enough to spin up in docker.

Edit: I changed the link to the github because I noticed that the main url for the service doesn't mention that you can self-host it. Sorry about that.
