Selfhosted

53408 readers
136 users here now

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.

Hi c/selfhosted,

I am the creator of PdfDing and in the spirit of the season I will match your donations to open source projects.The past year has been a good year, both personally and for PdfDing. The project's popularity kept steadily rising to around 1.4k stars on github and 150k image pulls. Additionally,it is receiving a grant from the NGI Zero Commons Fund. Given that and that I feel like I don't give back enough to the awesome open source projects I use, I will match your donations under the following rules:

  • In total I will donate up to 500$.
  • For every donator I will match up to 10$. I want to animate as many people as possible to donate to their favorite projects and by using this cap I can match at least 50 donations. Obviously, you can still donate more than 10$ :)
  • You can donate to open source projects of your liking (except your own projects). However it would be cool to not only see big projects like Immich receiving donations.
  • In turn I'll donate to open source projects of my choice. These projects will be: 1. Projects that I use in my private and professional life, 2. Projects that are a dependency of PdfDing or somehow helped/inspired its development. Obviously, I will NOT donate to any projects I am affiliated with.
  • In order to save fees I might combine donations. Example: one user donate 3$, another 2$ and yet another 5$. I'll combine these 3 donations to a single 10$ donation.
  • I will post screenshots or links as proof my donations.
  • You will need to post a screenshot or a link as proof of your donations. I will post my proof as a reply.
  • I will do a similar post on the self-hosted community on reddit. The 500$ I will match are both for reddit and lemmy.

As people usually want a short description about a project: PdfDing is selfhosted PDF manager, viewer and editor offering a seamless user experience on multiple devices. It's designed be to be minimal, fast, and easy to set up using Docker. You can find the repository here. As always stars are very welcome.
