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.

In a selfhosted scenario, but what about their cloud service?
Yes, exactly. And how do you even tell the app that you want to self host? I see no option for pointing it to a different core server/bridge.
... Unless you have to do it at the point of sign-up? I remember seeing an 'advanced' option on the login screen.
It's explained in the FAQ: https://www.beeper.com/faq#how-can-i-self-host-beeper I've not used the app so I don't know how practical/easy it is but they're at least offering the option, which is laudable.
Yeah I'm not disagreeing that it's audible but having read the instructions it leaves a lot of unanswered questions like the above. Presumably people with more knowledge and time than me will figure it all out and write step-by-step guides at some point.
