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.

Hosted a Temp SMS service written in Python (sms.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org)

( this post may seems like it's more related to programming than selfhosting but I wasn't sure so here we go )

Hello folks,

I made a Temp SMS service using Python. I used flask for serving the API and sms-forwarder app ( https://github.com/GreyTechno/sms_forwarder ) to forward messages from a phone to the server.

there is just two end points one is where you get the home page which displays all the incoming messages and another one is used to get the message sent from the phone. it's pretty simple actually...

tell me what you think about it :)

Edit: the service is down since someone is DOSing the service... I will quickly try to block them.

It's supposed to be used to create throwaway accounts. Or to give a number for random sites which you don't care about.

Oh okay, I think I misunderstood the direction that the texts were flowing. I could see this being very useful then.
