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.

I'm the lead developer of GlitchTip, an open source error and uptime monitoring platform. This release includes port monitoring for internal assets like PostgreSQL. GlitchTip aims to be easy to self-host. We're compatible with Sentry SDKs. If you've found Sentry's backend too complex to run or prefer 100% open source code, give GlitchTip a try. We're always looking for Python, Rust, and TypeScript contributors. I'm happy to answer any questions.

Yeah, pgsql and redis are probably to much to work around, and the market too small. For those it could be useful they probably already have an installation on a server that can be used.

For my usage it's perfectly fine running in python, so far not many daily users and not many bugs - most days nothing is reported. If I had more users or with performance telemetry enabled I might want rust. Better for the environment and I could run it on a smaller instance. That said, I believe GlitchTip is already ahead of Sentry in resource usage - I didn't install Sentry, but I saw all the systems needed and that was the main reason for going with GlitchTip. I'm mostly OK with their license.
