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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I use Matrix with the Jitsi plugin. I know everyone talks shit about Matrix, it's been flawless for me.
IDK about watching videos, that's a lot to ask of a screensharing app.
What kind of deal-with-the-devil black magic fuckery have you done to be able to write that? I'm happy if Matrix actually sends damn pictures and gave up completely on verifying my sessions.
Huh, it's been nearly flawless for me as well. Had it randomly hang once a few months ago but I think that may have been due to a lack of resources for that lxc. Other than that it's been flawless over multiple apps: Linux, Android (element, schildichat next, fluffy), windows, web. All synced and verified.
Meanwhile I'm just out here banging my head against a wall for hours having tried to make it work on Unraid and ended up not succeeding...
I've been using it for about 6 months, self-hosted. No problems at all after I moved from sqlite to a proper postgre server. Before that verifications often timed out.
100%. Not to mention being slow as hell.
Wait there's a jitsi plugin?
The old A/V chats in Matrix were just Jitsi-meet in disguise, but this has been largely deprechiated now with Element Calls.
Okay that makes so much sense, because I knew I had calling before in Element but they wanted me to set up all this extra stuff. Is it still a thing to do the plugin?
element call is still a separate thing, but I guess it's better integrated now
Now elemt calling is all integrated like on discord, if your homeserver supports it. Also available on other clients but I don't quite remember which ones.
What Matrix client do you use?
Element
