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.

Had a thought, but some quick searching didn't really give me much.

Is there such a thing as a browser that respects privacy, and can be synched through self hosted means?

I'd be looking for tab sync, bookmark, history, etc.

I use xBrowserSync for bookmark syncing. The code hasnt been touched in a few years but it still works great. Set it and forget it. There's also an android app - not sure about ios.

But it doesnt do browser tabs - just bookmarks.

I use #xBrowserSync too! I self host the server. It has extensions for Firefox & Chromium. Android app, as you said. But no iOS app. I was trying to make a browser based JavaScript app to use on iOS, but couldn’t finish it it.
