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.

What are you using as a Google photos alternative? Currently I'm using Nextcloud but I'm thinking of switching to a more dedicated solution.

I mainly need to upload photos from my device automatically, have an UI to see and classify them, albuns and sharing.

I wish it didn't require docker :(

It's hard for me. I've tried, but not had much success.

you should really take some time and learn it. It's a godsend.

I'm a noob still regarding self hosting (started last year) but maybe I can help? I struggled with it too but eventually got it working on my unraid server and I love it.

I appreciate it. I have all my stuff at home running on Yunohost. I'm quite happy with it, but I have tried docker-based projects in the past including dockstarter. I always ended up confused. I don't have much extra time at the moment for messing with it again, but it's very kind of you to offer.

No problem. If you do ever want to get it running I believe it's in the RunTipi store. That solution is similar to Yunohost in that it aims to make standing up a server with several services easy and available with a "single" click. I tried it and it's pretty neat. Only thing I didn't like is how updates to the apps themselves were handled.

Awesome, saved.

Same here. I'm using mainly FreeBSD on my servers so docker is a no go due to lack of support. I have to stick with Photoprism for now as it offers a install without docker and it does the job for me. Anyhow, I'm not happy with the trend that most FOSS projects today limit the deployment on docker and do not offer a way of a plain install on you *nix system of choice.
