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.

Youlag is a FreshRSS extension that allows you to browse your YouTube RSS feed through a modern video-centered interface. It incorporates a bunch of quality-of-life features and mobile friendly layout.

Supports both text-based and video feed content.

Why?

For those who prefer not to use a Google account to stay connected with creators, following via RSS provides a way to do so without being tied to a specific platform.

Since FreshRSS is web-based, you can access your subscriptions and playlists from any device.

Recent features:

  • Add your own Invidious instance to use it as video playback source.
  • Simulated "Picture-in-Picture" mode, allowing scrolling through the feed while keeping the video in the bottom corner of the page.

Other features:

  • Fullscreen viewing for videos and articles.
  • Familiar video layout to e.g. YouTube.
  • Dark mode.
  • Redesigned mobile menus for better one-handed navigation.

Note for existing Youlag users:

Youlag is now installed as a standard FreshRSS extension, and no longer uses the "User CSS/JS" method. To upgrade, please install it as with any other FreshRSS extension.

Youlag doesn't come with the core FreshRSS, it's an extension you need to manually install. You can follow the install instructions here to learn how to install Youlag. It's the same method that you use to install any other third-party extension for FreshRSS.

Once installed, the extensions page should look like this:
