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).

I've been using Obsidian for a long time. I enjoy it and all of its extensions. However setting up the app and syncthing on all of my systems gets irritating.

Any way, after a little looking around, I found Trillium notes. It doesn't quite have all the extensions, but is easier to setup. Give it a look, see what you think

I love Logseq to bits but I wish self hosting it made more sense. Last I checked it still requires you to point it to a local folder even if you host it yourself and access it through the browser so it's kinda useless.

I deal with it because it's by far the best fit I've found for my workflow but I'm not crazy about having to set up Syncthing and install the app everywhere.

Yeah, they are working in sync, but I have syncthing running anyways and don't really see myself working on two instances of LogSeq at the same time, so it works well for me.

That's fair, it's my workflow too. I just like the idea of being able to access it from any device in a pinch or from a locked down work computer, for instance.

I sync logseq with my nextcloud which is working great so far

Right, Syncthing works fine too. It's not that big a deal since I already use it for other stuff anyway but I'd love to be able to just open a browser from anywhere and point at my Logseq instance without having to install anything.

Are you syncing to mobile? I'm trying to get the logseq Android client to use the Nextcloud directory but it seems to be a known bug

I used it for months, but I didn't like it that much. IIRC, it doesn't store it's data as pure markdown files, which is a no go for me. Also: plugins.

The best foss alternative I found so far is the one that starts with K and has a way too long to remember. (I know, but I can't remember)
