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.

Hi there, I was intrigued by the idea of self-hosting my social media accounts, but was more or less a complete noob with all things hosting. However, with the help of the community here (and quite a few hours spent on it) I finally have a working setup! Mastodon, Matrix, Lemmy, Nextcloud all self-hosted behind Nginx Proxy Manager.

Google can find a lot of answers, but sometimes some really specific input is needed - which you guys have provided over the last couple of weeks - so I just wanna say thank you for that!

Does matrix support video calls? Our family uses Google Meet for group calls. Been thinking of a self-hosted alternative.

I use Synapse as the Matrix server and Element as client on desktop and mobile. It does support video calls, but so far I only tested it for a minute.

It's pretty solid for 1:1 calls, and they are currently working on Matrix's own conferencing protocol/solution.
But until then you could set up a Jitsi Meet instance along with Matrix to run multiple user calls.

I once tried. Too difficult for my technical knowledge. Or maybe the server was not powerful enough. Just 1 GB of RAM.

Plus, Jitsi Meet will allow you publicly available video conferencing which is really nice to have on its own. ;-)

I don't think it does, but take a look at Jitsi Meet! It's very good

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can get the best of both worlds actually. Matrix supports doing video calls through Jitsi Meet!

I want to say that for 1-to-1 calls it does video natively, and for group video calls it uses Jitsi Meet.

Oh, very cool!
