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.

I know this is a rather necro-y post, but I'm surprised nobody mentioned anytype. I've been using it for the last 2 months and I'm slowly moving my notes off obsidian, as well as my journal off logseq/nextcloud.
I went in a bit weary, the webpage looks like the typical startup project ready to pull the rug off your feet at any point, but there's a self-hosted option and even a local-only mode that syncs devices across your LAN.
Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll check it out. Do you use it behind a reverse proxy?
I have nginx set up for limited stuff, most of my selfhosted services I kept behind tailscale.
The only big con I found against it, it's hard to switch between the self-hosted and "normal" vaults. I should test if I can have another copy (eg appimage) with separate settings for that.
I am heavily using the local-only mode but I've also recommended it to some normie friends, so sharing vaults in different modes becomes a hassle
Edit: tldr, I'm using the "local only" mode but since I have tailscale, everywhere is LAN ;)
I'm getting into this and have some questions (if that's okay). We still download their mobile & desktop apps, right? Then select either "local-only" or "self-hosted"? Is one free and the other costs money? If so, I'll do what you're doing except I just put a wireguard server on my opnsense box and vpn into my local network that way.
Is there a sample docker compose you could show me? I found this docker-compose and this env file but it all seems unnecessarily complicated. Is this what you're using?
The normal account (dafault) is the only monetized option, giving 100mb of free space.
I did a quick check on the self hosted option in the beginning and same, seemed too convoluted and decided to stick with the local method, since I tested it (turning phone WiFi off) and it was still syncing (via tailscale)
On the upside, I tested the import/export features and seemed rather solid, so you can always create a new local account (save the seed phrase!) And bring your stuff back into it.
