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.

I have a self hosted media server, and I want my family to use it more so I don’t have to do everything for them. I think the best way to do that is to have a wiki available on the local network where they can see a reference of how to use things. What is the best way to accomplish this?

I’m running Ubuntu Server.

Check out Bookstack. It's a brilliant piece of software that gets out of your way and has a modern look and feel that your family members will like and appreciate. The challenge will be to get them to use it instead of going straight to you. They may find themselves inconvenienced by having to go to a self-help resource. That's a them problem and not a you problem though.

+1 for bookstack. Dokuwiki is also a good choice if you want something simpler, but it also doesn't look as nice.
