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.

I rediscovered the joy of my own music collection by quitting Spotify and switching to self-hosted Navidrome.

I disagree.

I don't necessarily know about new music, artists, or genres. I want to get a mixture of stuff I haven't encountered.

Something like 60% of the music I listen to in a given month I had never heard of 12 months prior. I've found so much music that I vibe with by way of generated playlists.

Discovering something new that scratches my music itch is in itself a pleasure for me, and I can go back to it at a later date, like everything else.

This doesn't mean I support Spotify, but it does mean I disagree with your stance.
