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've been learning bash and working on scripts to automate stuff in my homelab. It's been a lot of fun. I'm currently working on a script that will rename the movies and TV shows I rip from my DVD collection.

The script queries the tmdb api, presents me with a mwnu of matches if there's multiple matches, renames the media files according to jellyfin spec, and then places them in the proper folders to be indexed by Jellyfin and Kodi.

Bash variable manipulation is really, really fun.

automate stuff in my homelab.

Love me some homelab automation. It puts a smile on my face when I get a little ding from telegram giving me a summary of this morning's email, what the weather will be for the day along with a summary of established connections to my servers 'cause I'm paranoid like that. LOL fun stuff
