Selfhosted

57155 readers

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.

I still haven't found a Google Drive replacement. Nextcloud is way too bloated. Seafile is way too complicated to install.

FileGator seemed like another possible solution...

I dont understand what you mean. As in that client a can dump files, go offline and client b can go onlineel and sync these files afterwards?

Sorry, brain fart moment.

I meant online only - the complete opposite of what I wrote ....

I want to be able to upload files and have them stored on the server and only downloaded when needed (or if I mark them as always downloaded)

I don't need or want everything on my laptop or phone (requires lots of storage!), but want to be able to get them easily when I do.
