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.

If I had a nickel for every time someone has whined that you need to self host this, I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot but still noteworthy because this is literally a self-host community.

But I want to trust randos with my file conversions! 😡

I think the point is that it could be a desktop app

Then use a desktop app instead, this is absolutely useful for me to host on my homelab, I can convert from any web connected device.

Yeah I don't care, i was clarifying their point to you because it seemed like you didn't understand.

Lol it's fine, their comment can be taken many ways, I just wanted to be sarcastic :p

Agreed - tools like this are handy for standardizing media formats without the manual effort and sometimes time intensive conversions
