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.

I made a repo, mostly so I could easily set this up on new machines. Basically, it's a self-hosted offline private version of Grammarly.

Go forth, and use good grammar! 🔮

Isn't the issue with the different selfhosted variants that the official version has more language rules available?

Yeah I'm confused, isnt language tool also already open source? Nothing on the above repo explains the difference. Official language tool server can be found below

Running LanguageTool locally is a bit of a pain, with some manual steps. Plus you have to fetch some data files. You can find around a few projects like this one to make it easier to run LanguageTool.

And yes, as the poster mentioned, LanguageTool keeps some code exclusive to their paid version. There's a bit of a tension because they ask people not to extend OSS LanguageTool with their paid features.

There's also this interesting clone, but it seems abandoned.
