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.

From the peertube video description:

Want a beautiful, fast, private web reader that handles HUGE encrypted CBZ files without much effort? Then Gopherbook.

In this video, I walk you through everything

Intro & why I built this  
easy install / Docker setup  
Creating your first account (first user = admin)  
Uploading your first comics (including massive encrypted ones)  
How the magic password system works (it just remembers them!)  
Auto-organization by Artist / StoryArc  
Admin panel – toggle registration & delete comics  
Where everything is stored & backup tips  

GitHub: https://github.com/riomoo/gopherbook
Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/riomoo/gopherbook
Gitgud: https://gitgud.io/riomoo/gopherbook

• 100% local, single binary
• Full encrypted/password-protected CBZ support
• Automatically tries all your known passwords on new files
• ComicInfo.xml metadata extraction
• Gorgeous dark UI with cover grid
• Per-user libraries & encrypted password vault
• no tracking

If you hoard comics like I do, this is the reader you've been dreaming of.

I'm not able to watch the video right now; is this actually using the gopher protocol?

No, it's written in Go. Thee language mascot is a gopher.
