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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

After Trakt changed to a subscription, I’ve went with NeoDB. This is a federated network, so you can also host it yourself if you like. All entries there can be published into the Fediverse, too. It tracks movies, shows, books, and games. And it automatically imports from IMDb, TheMovieDB, Amazon, Steam, and many more. There’s just one little quirk: since this app started out in China, many actors show up with their Chinese names - but can be easily edited to their English names.
There’s also eggplant.place which is the development build of NeoDB and might be unstable but has more English content.

This seems great, but I don’t fully understand how it works with the Fediverse. Instead of everything being local, can I now share what I’ve watched with others and see their comments as well?
Yes, whenever you mark a movie or an episode as “to watch”, “watching” or “watched”, this gets published like a Mastodon post. You also have the option to automatically retoot this from your main Mastodon account. Others can follow you from Mastodon and react to your events. (For some reason, they don’t properly show up here, though.) And, of course, it all shows up for other users on NeoDB.
Seems great!
