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.

For those who do write novels, books etc. What software do you use? What format? FOSS or proprietary?

Obsidian is really good for me for writing. Though I enjoy writing in markdown/plain text. I use italics for comments and bold for changes to make. It’s proprietary, but there’s a community plugin downloader built right in, with lots of open source support. I have my own database set up for syncing using the Self-hosted Livesync plugin and it works really well. There are other plugins specifically for writers as well.
