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.

Looking for some Google Workspace alternatives (lemmy.world)

After my private Gmail was leaked somewhere, I've started to receive an enormous amount of spam that came through into my inbox, which made me switch to Proton and a self-hosted SimpleLogin setup.

So I decided, I might as well dirch Google entirely, for private and work-related stuff.

While Proton already covers Mail and Calendar, I'm in search of alternatives for the following services to replace.

  • Meet: I like the idea of starting a quick meeting by simply sending a link to a customer, who can join instantly. What would be an equivalent software to do that? I tried Mattermost, but it seems more like a Slack alternative, with invites, etc. and is overkill for my case. Revolt chat looks like a Discord alternative.
  • Drive: In short, If possible, I'd prefer one consolidated place to access and edit files. Docs, Excel, PDFs, pictures, videos, etc... Is Nextcloud really the only option here, with the corresponding plugins for onlyoffice and memories (photos)? I tried running thst on an intel nuc, and it's slow as hell.

Okay, I'm genuinely confused about the NextCloud hate.

I've been using it for a month, and It's literally had 0 issues.

Nothing about it seems unstable or slow. I'm 99% certain if you're having issues with nextcloud, it's a hardware issue.

Depends what you're running it on. If you're running it on an 8c/16t 64gb system, you're probably fine.

similar enough. 6c/12t 32gb system.

see... and most of us (RPis excluded) rent cheap servers where software is expected to run performantly, like 4c/8t at best (bare), but 2c/4t nucs are probably a majority... Adding to that, we run additional services, next to NC, and based on the traffic (probably up to 5 users max simultaneously) this should be fairly enough.
