I recently found out that instead of just using online sources, you can also use something you can host yourself, like Komga, in Mihon. I’m just wondering if there’s an advantage to it that I didn’t think of because the only things I can think of are:
Progress is synced over multiple devices
Online sources can suddenly go offline, your self-hosted service won’t
It’s just that I only read manga on my phone anyway (even though that might be because it’s not synced between devices) and I’ve never had the issue that an online source went offline. I just thought that maybe there are other reasons, like how you can get way better quality when you self host something like Jellyfin for movies and shows.
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).
No trolling.
Resources:
selfh.st Newsletter and index of selfhosted software and apps
Those are two big points though, especially the latter. At least for people concerned with selfhosting their services.
