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.

I guess that means it's dead, as there's no way a corporation would pay millions to acquire a competitor just to continue developing a free alternative to their own product

Idk why you'd need LDAP login as the admin for a homelab.
For other things like owncloud it makes sense but not there but eh...Personal preference I guess.

Once I've set up SSO I'd want to use it in as many places as possible. Not having to handle additional unnecessary passwords is a benefit.

I have something like 40-60 machines between hypervisors, VM, and physical. Central auth is an absolute must for that scale. Sure I could just re use the same password 60 times, but if that gets popped, I'd also have to change it 60 times (adding config management is a soon to be completed task)

You can't call that a home environment anymore.
That is corporate scale and imo can be monetized

Actually, I legally can't make money off of it for reasons that would dox me.

I already pay for both VMware and Microsoft licensing among several others. If I can get my SSO by saving a little bit of money by using a different product, I will. I don't mind paying for software I use when it makes sense, I only disagree with companies up-charging features like SSO that should be available to all customers.
