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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

According to the release:

Adds experimental PostgreSQL support

The code was written by Cursor and Claude

14,997 added lines of code, and 10,202 lines removed

reviewed and heavily tested over 2-3 weeks

This makes me uneasy, especially as ntfy is an internet facing service. I am now looking for alternatives.

Am I overreacting or do you all share the same concern?

There's SunUp on F-droid, but I don't know anything about them.

That's from Mozilla, another AI company...

Ugh, seriously? Great...

(Edit) I don't think this is true? They use Mozilla's push services, but nothing about their Codeberg repo (yes, it's on Codeberg, not Github) indicates they're part of Mozilla.

Self-host

It is possible to host your own Autopush server. Autopush is designed to work with Google BigTable but it is also possible to use it with redis.

For this:

  1. Clone Autopush

# mozilla-services/autopush-rs

Autopush-rs

Mozilla Push server built with Rust.

By using Sunup, your are going to have to trust Mozilla.

I already acknowledged they're using a Mozilla service. My comment was about the claim that they're owned by Mozilla. What the fuck happened to reading comprehension?

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The app itself might be fine, but you are either using the Mozilla services or the backend written by Mozilla. Sadly Mozilla has lost all the good will it had and is just another silicon valley AI company these days, and seems to prefer it that way.

[–] november@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sure. All I said was that it doesn't actually seem to be run by Mozilla, like you implied it was.

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The push service is run by Mozilla. Master of reading comprehension, I bow to you.

[–] november@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Then why is Sunup and only Sunup on Codeberg, not Github where the rest of Mozilla's code is kept? And why is it not under any sort of official Mozilla branding?

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sunup is simply a client app for Android. It does not do anything on its own.

So we're in agreement. Not sure why you're trying to argue with me, then.
