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.

cloud based thermostat is a wide term. You need to be a little more specific.

Like Zigbee, Z-wave or Wifi? All of those can be cloud. I don't have any thermostats yet, but I am considering getting some Zigbee ones, because those can connect locally to my Home Assistant instance.

Yes, I chose a wide term on purpose. I’m curious to see what all people use.

I’m currently using an ecobee, but want to a selfhosted server rather than third party for HVAC.

You can connect the ecobee to home assistant using HomeKit which runs local. I’ve got a nest and google once got rid of the api over a year before having a replacement ready so anything local is no go with them.
