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 use homer as a fancy bookmark manager for my home server. But I hate updating the config file every time I add a new service. Are there any dashboards that allow you to update items with an API/using docker labels like Traefik?

I don't use the docker labels feature so it doesn't really matter to me but can see why you would want this to be implemented if you did. Hopefully they can figure it out.

I have a "local" version with every prod service on. It's only accessible on my home network with a pihole dns resolver. I just add the services manually to the services.yaml file, which doesn't take long at all. I then have a "remote" version which is a much smaller with only services accessible outside my home network and is behind nginx/authentication software/cloudflare. Again, it doesn't take long to add services really. Two different docker compose files, volumes with the settings, and ports makes it work fine for me. I guess depends how often you're adding services.
