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 (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I want to swap to this but also want to do a few PRs but haven't had the time.
Otherwise I am excited for this. Stirling doesn't really support replicating even with license and its fat image takes up a bit of my disk space for images.
Yeah those are good points. Also noticed the CDN thing, it's a bit annoying for a privacy-first project... But should be an easy fix 😄
Stirling's backend is Java. So, yeah, heavy and slow sounds about right.
Yeah very exciting project and to be honest a lot of popular services run as root by default. That said this ones harder to change from port 80 without changing the image. Could mount a nginx.conf to override probably though.
Why not open a PR to make it configurable? The maintainer is super active and friendly.
Plan to if no one beats me to it... Just gotta find time when I am free and have the energy to program more.
More worryingly now looking at loaded JS again it loads an analytics JavaScript file too.

While I don't like it, it's not hidden either:

There should definitely be an option to disable this for self-hosting, but if it's just a counter for how often each tool is used by all users combined... Eh...
(Stirling also has something similar)
Yeah stirling has options to remove though, at least I remember seeing the option since the beginning and disabled it haha. Option to disable that should probably be a 3rd PR then got some work to do lol
Thank you for your sacrifice :D
Guess I don't have to, the dev released a new update without analytics, scripts and fonts are internal and created an issue for running as root which someone's assigned to. This project got some crazy momentum!
Oh wow, awesome!
