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 own a small business and am currently using quickbooks, however I don't really make enough to justify the price I am paying for it. I did have a deal for roughly 3 months which made it cheap, however the price has gone up now.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any self hosted applications that support business like tracking. Would something like firefly work for this? I am not really needing budgeting.

I've tried odoo and while I like it, a lot of the accounting side of things is lock behind a pay wall although there are third party plug ins that accomplish the same tasks.

Once I have more free time I'm going to test out Erpnext as it's 100% open source with no pay walls if you self host it.

Erpnext looks interesting and looks like it has a ton of what anyone could need. Though looks like the setup is a little more confusing.

If you use ESXI as your hypervisor then you could use their virtual machine package to see if you like it. https://bitnami.com/stack/erpnext/virtual-machine

I do recommend manually installing it yourself if you end up liking it so you can understand how all the gears mesh together if you ever have to troubleshoot.
