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.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.

okay the moment I saw Python I just closed it
I mean, it's yaml manipulation. It was either python or perl, but i wasn't fucking with perl, i'm insane not mad (or the other way around)
Perl is perfect for curses you have no intention of maintaining. You can pack more dark magic per line.
Why do you think I won't maintain this?
People rarely maintain open source curses. Manjaro withstanding.
Bahahaha
Perl is way crazier than Python that’s for sure. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice project, Python gets you there really fast because the la gauge is loosely coupled, just that when it’s failing it’s blowing up on all ends & it’s not so deterministic, meaning what you run on machine-a will be exactly the same on machine-b.
Curious what you would use instead? I can only think of one wrong answer and that's Jsonnet.
Would’ve written a Golang program and spit-out a binary for everyone to execute on any machine.
No dependency problems, it’s portable, it’s deterministic — all that you need. Everything is packed in that binary, dependencies, your core logic.
You sweet summer child...
You can create static binaries that bundle the python interpreter and dependencies.
It's the
onefileoption in pyinstaller: https://pyinstaller.org/en/stable/usage.html#cmdoption-FYou can also do it with C. Or Csharp. Or many other programming languages. It's not a feature unique to Go, it's just that Go can only create static binaries.
not only, you can go ahead and run a Go program as is, without compiling as well 😆
TIL about the onefile, 10x for sharing, can you guarantee that runs everywhere?
go runworks by compiling the program to a temporary executable and then executing that.It seems to depend on glibc versions, if that's what you are asking. You can force it to be more static by using a static musl python or via other tools. Of course, a binary for Linux only runs on Linux and the same for Windows and Mac. But yeah.
Also it should be noted that go binaries that use C library dependencies are not truly standalone, often depending on glibc in similar ways. Of course, same as pyinstaller, you can use musl to make it more static.
