I’ve calmed down a bit but still would like to know if there are any new ‘cool’ apps to selfhost. I know of the awesome-selfhosted github repo. Any other great sources, and could we incorporate something like that into our selfhosted community here? Maybe a bot that checks if any new ones been added?

I maintain https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted :) Reviewing additions takes some time but it gives a good insight on new releases. You can check the list of Pull Requests/software being added here

There is also a third-party tool that tracks newly added software.

I’m self hosting wefwef, an Apollo-like, platform-agnostic Lemmy client.

Does that address some of the intermittent connection issues (e.g. “failed to save vote”)? I’ve been wondering if that’s a rate-limiting issue with the wefwef.app instance

Wefwef proxies requests so it’s very likely rate limiting

Unless I’m actively looking for a specific type of application, or to replace one I already run, I just check in on the subreddit periodically, just looking at the top posts from the past month or so.
I guess I’ll start checking in on lemmy now.

There was a time, where I was checking for new stuff to selfhost almost daily. But at this point, I have what I want, and there is no point in trying to change a running system.

This was me when I started my journey; looking everywhere for anything that might peak an interest. Now that I’ve setup basically everything I wanted, the only time that I get something new is when I get curious and wonder if x can be self hosted.

I like to listen to the Self-Hosted podcast together with all the Late Night Linux family ones. That keeps me up to speed 🫶

There are hundreds maybe thousands of new projects being starting monthly. A person makes the decision which project is “self hosted” or something else. I don’t think that bots can do that.

Yeah true, but there are certain sources to pull from already. Guess I’m hinting at a weekly roundup thread on here. Whether there’s interest and how something like that’d be setup.

Selfhosted

!selfhosted@lemmy.world

Create post

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.
