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.

This is pretty because Grist can react to changes in your data automatically, sending emails or firing webhooks. I only recently learned about grist and have been playing with it a bit in the hosted version. Thinking of adding it to my list of applications to run soon. Seems like it's not super well known in this sub though. Do people prefer something else?

That's cool I'd never heard of it. I've just been using libreoffice.

It's excellent if you’re used to living in a spreadsheet. Tons of power & flexibility, and if I ever start a business it'll be one of the first apps I use. Can't think of a better option.

For me as one person intermittently working on small-time projects, it was overkill. I don't need to track or log project details, so plaintext files work just fine for what I do.
