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.

Office in/out board solution (lemmy.ml)

At my workplace we use a program called OfficeStatus to track whether someone is on, off, or WFH. Unfortunately, it's losing support at the end of the year and we're anticipating a windows update breaking it at some point.

Are there any alternatives out there that have AD integration to import users, are free or one time fee, and self hosted of course?

I've been trying to write an app that integrates with MS teams status, but I've been racking my brain trying to deal with authentication states.

Afaik, MS Teams now has a native status thing, which shows you as either in Office or WfH. Would that suffice?

Edit: it doesn’t show up on my iOS app, so maybe it is on desktops only.

Ah, should have mentioned that in my post. We’re also looking for being able to view the status of all users at once.

PowerApps + PowerAutomate then? If you have such licenses and wanna go native MS then this works like a charm, even on mobile. Doesnt take long to prepare, i think it is even a PA example that MS has. Ill try to find it.

Edit: I know this is a selfhosted community but MS tools work well with MS tools :D

Never tried PA, but we have the licences, if it’s that easy I would really appreciate it.

Honestly I cant find the exact one, but Reza Dorrani probably has this in his vids or you can go with something like this:

Tldr - in PowerApps you design the form and buttons, which set a value on a sharepoint list, after which you can set up the view as shown on the vid ive shared. I wish i could help more, but my PowerApps/Automate knowledge is limited.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/cC-skWfWOXQ

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

I think there’s an Odoo module that does this. Might be overkill for just that, though.

I’m interested in this as well. Not for keeping up with an office but for keeping up with which family members are out of the house.
