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.

There are a ton of options listed on the Awesome Selfhosted list. I'm on the search for a FOSS option that I can use to document my homelab and personal tech projects.

Right now, I'm leaning towards wiki.js

I previously used WikiJS, but since about a year ago I switched to Grav.

The really nice thing is not having an additional database anymore. It's really just markdown pages, config files and php plugins.

By default it looks like a blogging platform, but with the learn2 theme it also works pretty well as a documentation website. The official docs are written using that theme.

I wasn't completely happy with the defaults though so I did some modifications for my own wiki. Some limited knowledge in HTML, CSS is required and PHP or Javascript don't hurt either.

You can find the theme, plugins and pages in my repo as well if you'd want to use any of it.
