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.

In the lght of recent events (gloogel complaining about uBlock) I tried to investigate other available options out there. While Piped.video definitely works, it looks like it is only fluid for popular videos, and as soon as I want to watch something a little more obscure, it is basically impossible, I have infinite wheel spinning.

Have anyone here tried self hosting Piped/ Invidious, and could share a feedback about performance /usability ?

I'm selfhosting invidious for a few users (5), only downside is it have to be restarted every once in a while to clean up the db (cron every one hour did the trick pretty well). Very usable on every video :-)

you mean clean up the ram usage? not db

Ok nice to hear that, will give it a shot

Yeah something like that sorry was just waking up 😂

From the doc : Because of various issues Invidious must be restarted often, at least once a day, ideally every hour.

Lmao the docs. That translates to: we have memory leaks but I'm not getting paid for this so deal with it. 😂😂
