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.

Anytype has finally followed through on their promise and open sourced their repositories. Self hosting is now possible though there is no docker container available.

This is a major step forward for all PKMS and I wholeheartedly congratulate them.

btw Anytype is free, even their included sync service, which is the best of any offline-first style PKMS I have experienced. Anytype is top 3 PKMS for me, followed by Logseq and SiYuan. They're in good company and now it's only going to improve!

Is there a description of what this is and what it is for for dumdums? I don't really get what it is from the website.

Same - I'm very curious as to what it is and how it's used.

I hate the jargon used in some of these app descriptions.

example: "Enhance workflow with integrated collaboration and intelligent software agents to automate your processes."

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU DO

This is how I feel about so many things I try to read up on.

It's a note taking app. A bit like logseq but 100% open source.

I just wish collaboration wasn't a year away.

logseq is open source, but not their sync backend. You can use syncthing, but I would prefer that the native sync would be open.

Interesting, didn't know that. Thank you!

[–] curioushom@lemmy.one 7 points 11 months ago

Just to clarify the entire Logseq app is open source including the sync mechanism, the server backend to receive the sync endpoint and store the data isn't. I use Syncthing (FOSS and cross platform) to sync noted between my devices.

It's quite similar to Obsidian, if you're familiar with that.

It's a notetaking app that lets you visualize how your notes are related to each other, and gives you plenty of options for formatting.

It's quite neat to play around with, but probably overkill for daily note taking, unless you appreciate the UX.

Also seems to have a lot of Notion elements to it as well

[–] MonkCanatella@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's a more advanced note taking app, like apple notes, logseq, obsidian, notion, etc. aka PKMS (Personal Knowledge Management System).

[–] Grass@geddit.social 1 points 11 months ago

Thanks. Also to everyone else that replied. I've put it in my list of things to test out if I ever get time

[–] kiku123@feddit.de 5 points 11 months ago

It's a direct competitor to Notion, but also other knowledge management apps (Obsidian, Evernote, etc.)

I couldn't find a good one on their site so I downloaded the app. It's a fancy notes app with templates for a bunch of different things. The hook seems to be the decentralized sync system.
