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.

I've been using News for Nextcloud for the past year or so and love it. But it recently broke (refuses to pull any feeds) and reading the github issues... that app ain't gonna last much longer.

Briefly looked at the awesome selfhosting page and going to do a read through of those when my brain is a bit more sane. But any suggestions? My main requirement is that I need to have multiple android devices able to connect and sync even while off network (I can handle the anxiety that comes from tunnels).

nextcloud news alpha is working and people are working on making it usable again. sad state of affairs, nextcloud just pushes updates breaking apps without bothering to ensure compatibility.

I'm on the alpha and it still won't update any of my feeds. And going through the github issues it is basically summed up as "We will do another stable release once we have a frontend developer" which is basically never. So, at best, it will work until it doesn't and then I have to fix it myself yet again and... yeah.

And if my choice is to run an older version of nextcloud to support one app? Hell no.

As the maintainer of the app: Seeing how the alpha status doesn’t have anything to do with the import or API, your lack of updates in the feeds probably has another reason than the 25.x release.
