Google maps alternative that's as good as Google maps. Its the only service left that has kept me from degoogling 100%
Self-Hosted Main
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.
For Example
- Service: Dropbox - Alternative: Nextcloud
- Service: Google Reader - Alternative: Tiny Tiny RSS
- Service: Blogger - Alternative: WordPress
We welcome posts that include suggestions for good self-hosted alternatives to popular online services, how they are better, or how they give back control of your data. Also include hints and tips for less technical readers.

I would love to see a self-hosted VDE solution. We have a ton of VM options so I'd like to see the next logical step.
Any MDM solution. All self-hosted options that were available (onemdm, flyve) are dead. I'm my own employer, so we definitely agree everything should be self-hosted :)
Any priority features of the MDM and how many devices managed total?
I own a small business, 20-30 devices only. But they're a mix of all possible platforms (Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS). Would like to force disk encryption, strong password policy, automatically install/update/configure corporate VPN/mail/etc., prevent use of blacklisted programs, remote wipe of lost/stolen/otherwise compromised devices. I know it's not feasible with any selfhosted solution, sadly.
I'm looking into ManageEngine MDM Pro. It only runs on windows tho :-/
Workflowy and Loom
I hear you can do something pretty close to workflowy with obsidian.md, which you can pretty much self host with the help of syncthing
I'd love a replacement for AppSheet using BaseRow.
a budgeting app with ease of use for desktop and mobile
firefly iii
It's not self-hosted but have you tried Buckets? It's pretty good and only needs a one time payment (lifetime) for full features.
An alternative to ring, wish I could self host the video recordings from the doorbell camera.
Check out the Reolink doorbell, they have a wifi version and a poe version, though you need home assistant + frigate, and some tinkering skills to get it working. Might require a VPN for it to work wan you're not connected to home wifi. I haven't got it to work without VPN yet.
Don't know about the hardware, but HomeAssistant + Frigate can definitely cover the software side.
UniFi does doorbells, cameras, and self hosted NVR.
Pricey though.
UniFi Protect is proprietary, would be nice if a FOSS alternative existed.
Maps with turn by turn directions.
Two for me
Fleetio - with a family member who collects cars and farm vehicles, things like Hammond are not of much use, points if it can integrate withe Traccar
GreatPetCare (Previously PawPrint) given its now free after its sale, we are now the product. Plus it has lost useability IMHO since its change
Sports Organization Management. The only ones I have seen have not had many updates lately, zuluru and doubleheader.
I was able to get zuluru to run via docker but had to really play with it and use older docker images for mysql and its php base image as the repo's docker compose file relied on latest tags. It has a lot of nice features for managing a team org but its UI is rather simple/dated. https://github.com/Zuluru/Zuluru3
Have not gotten doubleheader up yet but plan to try soon but its repo has not been updated for almost 3yrs. https://github.com/harisjlatif/doubleheader
This is definitely something I figured there would be more self hosted options for, but after searching around, you have a point. Those seem to be the best options and still are lacking/ unstable.
An embedded system flasher station. Connect on mini PC desk with multiple ports, flash the embedded systems from any device. A vscode extension would be nice too.
Sentry, on ARM64 and/or less ram
Agreed. I like sentry, but requiring 8gb of ram minimum is a bit much for small home servers.
OneNote. Yes, I know, NextCloud, Joplin, etc. But there isn’t really anything with everything - handwriting, voice recognition/dictation, etc.
I see this post more open to company selfhosting, whereas the post you mentioned focuses on homelabs. I've got both homelab and company servers, and the selfhosted needs differ a lot.
In a while, means they just didn't bother to look before posting.
I would love a local Alexa clone.
Mint
Something like Steam. I've got a bunch of old games and other software, CDs, floppy images, etc., with registration keys and so forth (sometimes multiples), as well as newer stuff I got through Humble Bundle, or even various free/open source games, servers, etc., but installing them can be a pain. I'd like something that could host the files, list the games, and install them on a whim, along with self-hosted "cloud" storage so I can switch between computers easily. I already use Steam, of course, but it doesn't host my old games, at least not without paying them for the privilege. My boss... Would probably be interested, actually. Not business related, but still.
There was something released a while back similar to what you're after. It had a funny name, I think it was crack pipe and then they changed it due to well the name of it but I can't for the life of me remember what it was
A good RMM solution with scripting options. Ie. Labtech, etc.
There was TacticalRMM but there was some controversy around a crypto miner baked into a private installer. Thought of trying it in my isolated network, but can’t decide how I feel about it.
As it has been stated before, I miss a good selfhosted mobile MDM. Maybe one day, Fleet will be able to do that!
This is a nice, but I also would love to see a digital music marketing tool (like linkfire, amplify, where you can presave your music to Spotify/Apple Music,...). There is literally no project for that (yet).
A proper inventory system. Homebox still too limited and others are to complex or too much asset management focused.
A decent fitness watch
There's pinewatch https://www.pine64.org/pinetime/ but I guess it'll be a hike to make it work decently
