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.

As much as I want to use F-Droid, my work blocks all third party app stores so it's either have access to my work stuff on one phone (via profiles) or dual wield two phones.
I lack the patience to dual wield again. It's very annoying.
Is this your personal phone? If your work were to dictate what you are allowed to install on your personal phone, that'd be a serious overstepping of bounds.
Perhaps you can sneak in f-droid via
adb installand give it app installation permissions via ADB though.My primary phone belongs to my work. I get a stipend every two years that essentially allows me to buy any supported phone I want.
The conditions are that it's managed by them via MDM and all my work stuff is on the work profile side.
It is a choice I make since it allows me to not carry two phones. I did that for the first two years at my company and it was annoying.
So it's not yours. Looks from here that's the one issue you have to solve before everything else.
If "your" phone belongs to your employer that's the choice you made. It isn't yours.
I'm annoyed to see you getting down voted - I had a similar issue years ago with my work MacBook (couldn't run a custom WM because any modification to the Finder was blocked without putting the machine into "unsafe" mode).
I love OSS, but without a verifiable way to distribute it large swaths of the workforce won't be able to use it.
F-Droid is great, but sadly it isn't enough.
I was today years old when I learned that you can run a custom WM on a Mac.
That's like....the equivalent of a coca cola soda machine dispensing Pepsi.
And in terms of down votes, I don't really care too much. It evens out overtime.
Yep, check out yabai.
Thank you but I don't run a Mac. I used to back in the day. I just know how anal Apple is about people using their devices in any way that they don't specifically want you to.
