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.

AFAIK, Lemmy doesn't allow picture and link in the post "header". Personally prefer to show people a screenshot of an app as I think it looks better. I provided the link in the post.

For future reference: there are fields "URL" (the link) and "Thumbnail URL" (the picture). If you paste the image, the Thumbnail URL field disappears, and picture URL appears in URL field.

Cut it, and Thumbnail URL field appears again. Paste it into the Thumbnail URL field, and enter the link to whatever you want to be opened into the URL field again.

Voila - you have a link AND a custom picture. It's weird, it shouldn't work this way, but it works.

Lol, wonder if this also works from mobile as I primarily only browse Lemmy via Voyager.
