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.

A simple question to this community, what are you self-hosting? It's probably fun to hear from each-other what services we are running.

Please mention at least the service (e.g. e-mail) and the software (e.g. postfix). Extra bonus points for also mentioning the OS and/or hardware (e.g. Linux Distribution, raspberry pi, etc) you are running on.

Part of my Reddit exodus plan was to get serious about my RSS setup.

I've settled on:

  • FreshRSS as my feed manager (supported by Reeder app in iOS and MacOS)
  • FiveFilters Full Text extractor
  • rss-proxy site scraper

I may experiment with some replacements for rss-proxy, as I've run into a couple sites it doesn't scrape well, but FreshRSS and FiveFilters have been smashing successes.

Nice, RSS is great indeed. I use it extensively as well, but I didn't even realize it was a thing people ran as a service on a server. I hadn't heard of FreshRSS etc. I personally just run newsboat from my desktop/laptop, even my phone if need be.

Using a backend service provides things like synchronization, which is useful to me. Previously, I was using Feedly as that backend, but FreshRSS let me self-host that functionality and was pretty trivial to setup and start using.

I will look into FiveFilters, sounds like it would solve some issues for me. Thx
