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.

That's true, any apps/services that use a database instead of files are more problematic. But then as you have done, you could build your own tooling to accomplish it. That's quite a bit of effort, so it would have to be worth it for you.
I too like having file access whenever possible and prioritize it, for instance on the notes and wiki apps that I use like minimalist web notepad and dokuwiki... it's nice to have access to the files directly. And similarly Immich didn't have a good way to use your own directory structure for quite a while so I didn't use it and instead I used PhotoPrism, but now there is a way to make that work with Immich. It took a bit more effort where I do the actual syncing of my phone's photos with syncthing, and then have a cronjob running an immich --import to import them into Immich, but it works... and I'm happier because I get to maintain my existing directory structure of files.
