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.

There's this company, which makes ebook readers that don't seem to be tied to any particular vendor:

https://shop.boox.com/collections/all

They have so many models, though, that I have no idea where to start with them.

They use GPL and won't release the source. Fuck Boox

I am very happy with my boox note 2. Use it to read books, manga, and take notes in OneNote for classes.

It looks like it’s Android based. Can you run eBooks readers on it?

Yes, I haven't come across any apps so far that didn't work. Performance is an issue with some apps, but nothing major.

I have the Leaf 2 and like it a lot. Can be a little slow sometimes, but nothing worse than any other ereader I've used.
