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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Selfhosted coding assistant? (midwest.social)

I'd like to set up a local coding assistant so that I can stop using Google to ask complex questions to for search results.

I really don't know what I'm doing or if there's anything that's available that respects privacy. I don't necessarily trust search results for this kind of query either.

I want to run it on my desktop, Ryzen 7 5800xt + Radeon RX 6950xt + 32gb of RAM. I don't need or expect data center performance out of this thing. I'm also a strict Sublime user so I'd like to avoid VS Code suggestions as much as possible.

My coding laptop is an oooooold MacBook Air so I'd like something that can be ran on my desktop and used from my laptop if possible. No remote access needed, just to use from the same home network.

Something like LM Studio and Qwen sounds like it's what I'm looking for, but since I'm unfamiliar with what exists I figured I would ask for Lemmy's opinion.

Is LM Studio + Qwen a good combo for my needs? Are there alternatives?

I'm on Lemmy Connect and can't see comments from other instances when I'm logged in, but to whomever melted down from this question your relief is in my very first sentence:

to ask complex questions to for search results.

Thanks for the reply!

I had noticed TabbyML but something about their wording made me rethink and then the next day I saw a post on here regarding the same phrasing, I decided to leave it alone after that

Yeah I tried tabby too and they had like a mandatory "we share your code " line and I hoped out. Like if you're going to do that I might as well just use claude
