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.

Any idea for a self hosted home maintenance reminder system? Essentially something that will have reminders for things that reoccur regularly either ie yearly, monthly etc. Ideally it would have some way of checking it off to show the task was completed and then it would reoccur at the preset time next month /year etc.

I use chore-helper for Home Assistant for that. I chose it because I like the "after x days" vs. the classic "every x days" approach. If I forgot to clean the shower for over a week there is no point to have a reminder the next day after I finally did it, but I want it to happen x days later no matter how long I dragged the previous task.

It hasn't received updates in ages though and can be quite slow and complicated to manage. I want to have a look in ChoreOps to replace it.

Thats an excellent feature, thanks for the suggestion!

I was going to say there are multiple addons for home assistant for this problem. I think even more than you listed here, HACS is in desperate need of some kind of organization system.
