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.

This was a good topic to bring up, saw some stuff I have not heard of. Thanks.
any text editor... no, literally
I still use Keep. That have yet to fuck it up, but I'm sure they will eventually. Just like every god damn thing they do.
I find Joplin perfect for my needs. Markdown, embedding images, links etc. I sync to my selfhosted nextcloud.
I like tags, I would like them to add a "directory tree" type of view to help sort "folders" (the thing they call "notebooks") but only because I am more used to just filesystem type structured filing. But the notebooks and tagging idea works for me too.
I strictly use it for notes/note keeping, in particular "HOWTO's" and specific topic notes. So I dont even do a great deal of markdown in my notes, but I love the ability to add screen captures etc to them for clarity.
And being on nextcloud, I can access those notes anywhere on any device, PC, Android, Raspberry Pi!! Joplin has an app for all of them
I've tried lot of different apps, but I think I've settled on Trilium for now.
It doesn't have a great mobile experience, but the web app works fine on mobile. The app in general is super customizable and way easier to write scripts / plugins for.
OneNote was my favorite until it started crashing on my iPad every 3 minutes.
Siyuan. Ive been using it for a while now and find it very effective for my needs. Its gone through quite a few updates since i started using it and became open source in that time. It even has an android version as well which i do have installed on my phone but admittingly rarely use. I prefer writing information on a keyboard generally.
I use silverbullet, it is great for tasks and notes! https://silverbullet.md/ - the manual itself uses it, so it is both a manual and a demo page
I tried so many, eventually landed on trilium. It's not perfect by any means, but it ticks the most boxes for my needs
Logseq
I use the one that comes with my iPhone. No problems with it…
Me too. I realised I don’t need anything more. It’s easy, supposedly private and quite elegant.
I'm using Notion for everything now. I heavily rely on reminders scattered everywhere because Todo lists don't work for me.
Markor + synvthing
Joplin uses it's own database so interoperability is not perfect. Markor is so effing cool. That's on Android. On the laptop I use want ever is best suited for the task. Most often, a vim variant of notepad++
Hedgedoc and Nextcloud Notes
notepad
For long-term, permanent notes, I'm using Obsidian with Nextcloud and FolderSync Pro (which I also use for backing up some Android stuff to my Nextcloud).
For quick, easy notes while on the go (or that I need quick access to while out and about), I use Memos, which is more of a Google Keep replacement.
I'm using trilium and very happy with it.
Not exactly self-hosted but, I like UpNote a lot.
It's reasonably simple but, powerful enough for me, and it's fast & intuitive
