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.

I am looking for self hosted blog/journal that is private by default. Not looking to host a public blog, rather something that I can write more personal entries on and is easy to read later. I want to be able to include multimedia in the entries.

Currently I'm thinking of a Mastodon server with posts set to private by default and turning off federation. It would be awesome to be able to post from my phone as events happen rather than having to find time later.

I've tried around with using IMAP and an email client, but not sold on it. Tried using a calendar, but too cludgy.

Open to other ideas!

Logseq it defaults to a daily journal and uses Markdown files (again, daily files by default)

It has a whiteboard function and can "embed" images, videos, etc (they're obviously links to asset files stored separately to the markdown text file...)

There's an Android app which I sync to Windows and Linux machines via syncthing - the App doesn't have plugin support yet, but IMHO, on the phone, I just want to type notes...

It can be hosted on a web server, but I have not tried that (more resources to setup & maintain from my POV)

I tried Obsidian and Joplin in the past, but this just seems to be simpler, opener (if that's a word) and fits to my needs easily.

There's also a load of videos on youtube to get started...

+1 for Logseq & Syncthing

It works really well!

I'm trying this out. Installed both on phone and laptop last night.

I forgot to mention, the Android App has a voice recording function too.

Enjoy
