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.

A lot of my friends use partiful for event planning. Is there any open source or self hosted alternative to it? I checked alternative to and couldn't find anything, even alternative to evite or the like seems lacking.

I would think something that sends text messages would be hard to implement as self hosted

Nah you just need to use a provider that has an SMS API like Vonage, Telnyx, Twilio, etc. Many of them support replies too, so you can have something like "Reply with Y to RSVP"

SMS isn't too popular any more but it seems like a decent fit for a use case like this, as it effectively gives you nearly real-time push notifications without requiring everyone to install an app.
