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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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).
-
No trolling.

That boy doing so much work for privacy and linux communities. I love it!
Imagine if some big influencers like him switched to peertube, that would be quiet a thing indeed.
I think they are the only people able to do something like that. Hosting videos is expensive as ... you know. But if someone can do it, its them.
Even just mirroring.
Is there a tool already that makes it easy to upload to both? Idk, I haven't uploaded a video since like the 10s
I think there are tools that do that, yeah
Found one: https://codeberg.org/mister_monster/YouTube2Peertube
How about LBRY? Do you think it's a sane alternative to YT? I also think peertube is the true freedom, though, I was surprised how quick videos load on odysee
I though (not sure if I remember correctly) LBRY is basically dead after the lawsuits. The network was overtaken and is basically another corpo shait...
LBRY is cool but I'm honestly sketched out by the creators that currently exist there. It's mostly weird libertarians and crypto bros plus random porn bots. Also between the first and most recent times I played with it they added a CDN that hosts all of the files and something like 99% of the data I downloaded while farting around on there came from that single official CDN, so very decentralized.
Peertube has actual large creators who aren't weird conservative podcasters, and tons of different servers already which serve content, and great Mastadon integration which puts it in a much better spot for growth moving forwards than LBRY. You can literally watch peertube videos from Mastadon (Which has millions of active users including some celebrities and government officials) and comment on them from Mastadon, so there's kinda already a userbase measured in millions depending on how you classify cross-fediverse users
Maybe yeah. In fact, the only video I've ever watched on LBRY is from a YouTuber named Mental Outlaw
It still baffles me why anyone likes him in the first place tbh
I can kinda see it, though he's not my cup of tea. I like my videos a bit more essay-like and a bit more serious mode.
i get it, and don't mind seeing him these days, but I don't seek him out.
Same here. There were times where my eyes went up just hearing mentions of the guy, but nowadays, there are some videos I kinda enjoy watching (rare but yea)
Wait for it, I bet a whole bunch of people mentioned it in the comments of this one. That will probably be the topic of his next video. Although I'm hoping for stopkillinggames.com.
