Hey, community :)

I run a website that showcases the best open-source companies. Recently, I've added a new feature that filters self-hosted tools and presents them in a searchable format. Although there are other options available, like Awesome-Selfhosted, I found it difficult to find what I needed there, so I decided to display the information in a more digestible format.

You can check out the list here: https://openalternative.co/self-hosted

Let me know if there’s anything else I should add to the list.

Thanks!

I guess when I complain, I’m not really talking about hosting at all. I’m talking about things being written in stuff like python, with web UIs instead of native software.

I miss native software. And native software could be placed on a server. I prefer to run a Mac Mini for my home server, because I can use as many native apps as possible. Along with the all the other web-interface-based scripts and things.

People like to act like Docker containers and environment variables are simple. But so often these things are not.

Anyway. As someone else pointed out, it’s strange for me to be posting these lamentations in this community. I don’t mean to throw shade or talk shit.

So I’ll leave it there.

Oh for sure. I hate it when apps are like "EZ one line install" but then spin up a bunch of Docker containers. It's just more potential for shit to break.

A huge reason I like Navidrome is because it's just a single static Go binary. Can't get much easier to manage than that. Plus a bunch of native music apps are available as well. Wish more software was like that.
