I am looking for self hosted blog/journal that is private by default. Not looking to host a public blog, rather something that I can write more personal entries on and is easy to read later. I want to be able to include multimedia in the entries.
Currently I’m thinking of a Mastodon server with posts set to private by default and turning off federation. It would be awesome to be able to post from my phone as events happen rather than having to find time later.
I’ve tried around with using IMAP and an email client, but not sold on it. Tried using a calendar, but too cludgy.
I also used to self-host StandardNotes, but I didn’t like the user experience in the front end. The editor plug-in configuration was way too complicated for me. All I want is markdown. Several years ago I switched to Joplin.
How did StandardNotes “get tricky” about self-hosting? I must have switched by then.
Every time I upgraded the StandardNotes self hosting docker instance, some configuration setting changed and I had to go figure out what had changed and update it. Then they started to require some sort of a key to actually self-host. They were giving out free keys to users who were grandfathered-in but that left a bad taste in my mouth.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world
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).
