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.

While it's fantastic software, it's probably a relative cannon to shoot at his problem. Maybe there's a way around this, but I've found the necessary management, curation and bookkeeping that was necessary for it too be useful to be just way too much to be worth it. I mean it's fun for some, including me to a degree, but not too this extent.
I really dont find the management intensive at all, I mostly don't think about it tbh. Thats why I caveated on self hosting, if its simple just an app will do. The moment you add in complication (multiple users for example) it starts to make quite a bit of sense. Most of those tasks also have a related consumable (and another task as a result, such as ordering diapers to use my diaper pail example). Even the robovac example goes to consumables, like replacing the filter/brushes/etc. Or cleaning the sheets means laundry detergent, etc.
Unless you mean the grocery portion, which I do while shopping to check needed items off the list and set the stock (simple scan from the phone).
