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.

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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

It seems that while this update once again contains lots of (unncessary) AI bullshit, it also has some other positive changes, such as :
Overall, I am still disappointed by the direction towards AI that Nextcloud has taken, but I suspect that it makes them more money. Also, apparently large organizations / enterprises who pay Nextcloud GmbH for support, are also allowed to influence the roadmap of the software, which probably has something to do with jumping on the AI bandwagon.
However, despite this new direction, Nextcloud still does the job for me: Easy file syncing, with document collaboration, calendar, contacts and basically act as a whole replacement for Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace / whatever with little to no problems.
The AI support doesn't hurt you if you don't use it - and they've done the right thing by making sure you can do things locally instead of cloud.
Here's what AI does for me (self-hosted, my own scripts) on NC 9:
When our phones sync photos to Nextcloud a local LLM creates image descriptions on all the photos, as well as creating five tags for each.
It is absolutely awesome.
@troed: That sounds awesome, and something on my todo list. Do you mind sharing how your upload and tagging AI-scripts work?
