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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Since no one else has mentioned it, I’ll give a shout out to documentation engine Outline, which allows for self-hosting. Definitely on the trickier side to set up (requires three auxiliary services to be configured) but creates great looking docs that share easily, allows for collaboration and is super fast.
This looks pretty cool, but I'm assuming the "audit trail" being limited to enterprise users means I can't see version history on the free version. I'd consider paying the $4/user/month, but the 100 user minimum kinda kills that option for me. If I'm wrong and "audit trail" means something else, I'd strongly consider spinning up an instance!
Can confirm it has a per-page history, presented as a timeline. Not sure what additional capabilities the audit trail feature provides.
Bookstack is also a good one. Haven't set it up on the home server yet but when I was playing around with it on localhost it was pretty decent for my uses.
Looks similar to Confluence but more of a pain to get set up.
Is that even possible?
I'm pretty sure self-hosting Confluence isn't possible anymore, or is being sunsetted as a product. I use Confluence at work and compared to Outline it's noticeably slower in navigation and search. Agree 100% at the pain of configuring it though, it took me two attempts, months apart to get it running. The nice thing, from a self-hosting perspective, is once you've built it you also have object-storage, local auth and a database in your network for other self-hosted services that support those things, or for things you build yourself!
@deeply_moving_queef why is SSO paywalled?
Not sure why SAML is paywalled but there’s a bunch of options for SSO at the free tier. Google, Microsoft, Slack, Gitlab, OIDC. I deployed a Keycloak instance to provide auth.
That looks super cool. Thanks!
