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.

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

The Cloudflare Matrix blog in the newswire section is an AI slopfest, featuring a vibe-coded repo lacking fundamental protocol features, trivially false claims about Matrix projects, and misinformed comparisons to market their software offerings. Its original version did not even disclaim any AI assistance, and dishonestly advertise the thing as production-ready. It is not anything of proper substance.

To the selfh.st maintainers, I urge you to include the community's responses towards this action, for completeness of the situation
