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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I've seen Journiv before, and in selfhosting blogs. The UI looks very nice. If only I had something of value to write.

'Dear Dumbass: I told you to put gas in the car while you were down at the barn. Now you're going to have to get on the gator and tote 5 gallons up from the barn. You never listen to me. Take your coat you moron. It's 10 degrees outside. estúpido!'

Journiv has got me to try journaling seriously for the first time. I'm a bit envious of those able to do so naturally, I've been forgetting to make daily entries more often than not

I am glad it is serving it's purpose. Notification/reminders will come soon to Journiv which will help with forgetting to write :)
