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 already hosting pihole, but i know there's so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks all! I've got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!

Yes its basically selfhosted Google Photos instance kinda thing. There is a great story the Dev shared once, he was paranoid about backing up things to Google or Apple cloud as they have history of sharing it with Feds. So Dev won't like his family pictures on such platforms, so when him and his partner were to have a baby, he started working on immich, so by the time baby arrives he'll have a safe platform to backup family pictures.

Wow!! Immich looks great. I'll be getting that going asap. I actually just started paying for Google drive just to have more space for photos and videos. I've always wanted to move over to using my server but I just couldn't find a great Google photos alternative. This looks perfect.

Glad to know, I was able to help ya avoid that cost. We should be thanking the Dev's baby, as it helped us all to protect our privacy and our pockets 🤣.

If the logo said "Photos" I can be sure some couldn't see a difference between it and GPhotos
