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 (donβt cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

How would browser games survive with that solution tho? They most likely require some server...
Most browser games are quite simple and aren't running on a remote server.
Oh you mean the ones here: https://flashpointarchive.org/ and http://www.flashgamearchive.com/
Lmao funny that this comes up... i just downloaded the full 1.5TB data set a couple days ago... took nearly 10 hours to unpack. I'm going to be that any flash game you can remember has been backed up and is playable.
Yeah, flashpoint is great.
Games from that time were actually running mostly in your browser. Meaning that the host, for example Miniclip served you the JavaScript and other files of the game which were then executed locally. So technically you could archive those games as long as you can load them up at least once initially.
Potentially yes, but for instance I've been looking for a way to have the following players offline and it seems harder than expected:
Any tips?
If you logged and saved all the files the first one requested you could potentially make it work. You could manually change of the file paths in the html if you only doing a few of them. There's only like 10 or so paths that would need to be modified. The PHP ones are likely harder to make work as php is a server side language and you don't likely have easy access to PHP server and everything that goes with it.
Anyway thanks for the link to to mynoise.net. It looks like a well designed, carefully crafted website.
Yes yes, but what about magic / automated solutions? Wasn't that the great advantage of Linkwarden?
It's an open source solution designed to scale to what the web was originally designed for and excels at. Documents. Specifically hyperlinked documents or webpages. You can't reasonably expect an archival service to archive something that is by definition not static like an interactive web app.
