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.

Are any of you hosting using Snaps?

Deploying snap apps is really easy, but the catalog is quite small. I use one snap app (Ghostscript) for printing server and it works just fine.

I don't know when you tried Nextcloud snap. I was using NC Snap on low tier VPS back in 2021 and 2022. For me it was really good experience, and I saw that a lot of people had the same opinion. Unfortunately, snapcraft lacks a lot of apps and even in that small group there are only a few apps that are supported.

Snap apps could be good for a lot of 'just works' stuff, but the app catalogue is tiny. Hardly any of the app catalogue is kept up to date.

Way longer, I was running it on serious hardware back in 2016 or so, maybe 2018? It was painfully slow, barely usable and I wasn't even putting any load on it.

But it's made huge strides since, and as I said, if it works for you, go for it.
