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.

Honestly the name choice adds difficulty in getting friends to take it seriously. Why did they pick "stoat"
Nowadays everyone accepted the name "Discord" but I think it's a pretty poor choice of branding too.
A communication app called Discord is pretty weird too.
A stoat is a pretty cool animal.
I think without prior knowledge of any voice chat Discord would probably rate worse in perception than Stoat.
you mean unlike the tools discord has replaced, such as "mumble", "ventrilo", "roger wilco" and "trillian"?
Xfire
Mumble is a verb like chat but what the fuck has a stoat got anything to do chatting?
now do the other ones
Do them yourself and you want to copy all those failed apps, lmao.
Mumble is great and I still use it. None of those are failed apps.
Not every app seeks to rake in teenagers' parents' money with shit like premium emojis.
So, where are all the posts saying, 'self-hosted ventrilo?'
Not all software needs to be around forever. Things can become obsolete without "failing".
Good luck beating Discord by copying the worse parts of obsolete apps.
Discord never replaced mumble. The two are in different circles.
for some, yeah. depends on your use case.
Unironically yes
soundn like a problem with your friends then. who doesn't love a stoat?
I know, it's picky lol. I'm still considering it as the replacement for my discord groups (also checking out Element/Matrix). The average users aren't going to be up for swapping around a lot of platforms, so I am hoping to make one big push on the platform of choice. "Revolt" would have gotten less "wtf is that, how do you even spell it?" than "Stoat"
for what it's worth matrix has worked well for us. it's apparently a bitch to set up though.
No clue! It was revolt before. I think they had trademark issues with that name. What's wrong with stoat?
Personally, I associate stoats with Dwarf Fortress. And much butchering thereof.
I was wondering why I want getting any updates, checked thegithub a few months ago and found out they rebranded. Haven't had a chance to try the latest version out yet
This whole "FOSS names are bad" sounds like a Mccarthyism sysop by this point. Like, really, who is pushing that crap?
seems like they had a decent name 'revolt' but got some cease and desist and didn't resist and decided to switch.
The name doesnt matter
IRC is a stupid name too, unless you know what the letters stand for
Msn messenger was stupid
Icq was stupid
Wtf even is “skype”?
It just has to be unique
And a Stout is kinda cute
What do you meeaaan? Stoats are fucking adorable!
Stoats are awesome.
