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:

  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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Wasn't collabora trying to be this

This should open it to being used collaboratively.
Then I can convince wherever I work, to use this instead of going with other MS stuff?

Why everything is going to be browser based?

My first gut reaction was "Neat, but no thank you" but the more I think about how many clients COULD be using a cloud hosted privacy respecting platform instead of 365, I quickly bit my lip.

They say in their post that they won't host it.

(IMO) even better.
Give me the package to self-host it.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 1 point 1 week ago

Yeah, I agree with that. Give me a container.

[–] Reygle@lemmy.world 1 point 1 week ago

Yes that's understood and particularly great, leaving orgs/people to self host. I'm all for it.

Some new EU funding in the background?

I'm quite happy with local apps, but I could see the appeal for self-hosting if the server would scale for the client (ie laptop on the desk vs mobile phone on the road)

Why? Why anyone needs online version?
