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.

Anytype has finally followed through on their promise and open sourced their repositories. Self hosting is now possible though there is no docker container available.

This is a major step forward for all PKMS and I wholeheartedly congratulate them.

btw Anytype is free, even their included sync service, which is the best of any offline-first style PKMS I have experienced. Anytype is top 3 PKMS for me, followed by Logseq and SiYuan. They're in good company and now it's only going to improve!

What’s the weird fetish with open source projects deliberately choosing closed source corporate-hosted proprietary public Git hosting sites?

[–] sifrmoja@mastodon.social 1 points 1 year ago

@Dirk @MonkCanatella yeah... It's a fetish. Not a weird thing to say at all.

[–] unixgeek@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Just because source is available does not mean it's an open source license. It's still proprietary, free to use for non-commercial use only.

Is there a description of what this is and what it is for for dumdums? I don't really get what it is from the website.

It's a more advanced note taking app, like apple notes, logseq, obsidian, notion, etc. aka PKMS (Personal Knowledge Management System).

[–] kiku123@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

It's a direct competitor to Notion, but also other knowledge management apps (Obsidian, Evernote, etc.)

It's a note taking app. A bit like logseq but 100% open source.

I just wish collaboration wasn't a year away.

Is logseq not open source?

[–] bbigras@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

logseq is open source, but not their sync backend. You can use syncthing, but I would prefer that the native sync would be open.

[–] Blaze@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting, didn't know that. Thank you!

[–] curioushom@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Just to clarify the entire Logseq app is open source including the sync mechanism, the server backend to receive the sync endpoint and store the data isn't. I use Syncthing (FOSS and cross platform) to sync noted between my devices.
