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

This isn't the first project like this, motionEye OS has been around for years.
Thanks for the reply! Based on what I know about motionEyeOS, I would say the projects have different goals.
From MotionEyeOS's website: "Get instant email notifications when motion is detected.", "Save recordings to cloud services, network drives, or local storage. Automatic backup and archiving options."
We differ because we specifically made this to not compromise on functionality. We offer push notifications, easy private access via our mobile app, and the cloud relay cannot decrypt videos.(whereas it seems if you were to use the cloud with MotionEyeOS, they would not be encrypted).
While you could go local in MotionEyeOS to avoid that, it would be more inconvenient for most people, and we wanted something that could be a non-feature-compromising private replacement to modern cameras that's simple to setup and easy to use.
Yes, I’ve used motionEye OS before. It was quite good, although a little bit choppy in video quality, and lacking the push notifications to make it useful to me (or at least that was the conclusion that I came to at the time, which may or may not have been correct!)
I don’t mean the topic, I mean the project itself.
