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.

Find chess here on limewire. Link expires in one week.

Building upon the principles of my chat application, this is another implementation to push the limits of what's possible inside the termux environment.

This script includes all the pieces needed to run a world wide accessable chess game from your pocket. While the implementation of chess isn't perfect by any means, it has been a great learning expirence to figure out all the little parts of what makes a interactive webserver tick.

For testing, I did implement cloudflared within the script just to see if I can host to the clearnet as well. It worked!

I just pulled an old Android phone out of the closet and messing around with Termux and I'm seriously impressed. I had a file server up in my network within a minute. All without root too!

This is exactly why I started tinkering with termux...lots of old devices that I want to put to use that just collect dust.
