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.

Immich: opinion revised (wiki.gardiol.org)

Hi fellow self-hoster.

Almost one year ago i did experiment with Immich and found, at the time, that it was not up to pair to what i was expecting from it. Basically my use case was slightly different from the Immich user experience.

After all this time i decided to give it another go and i am amazed! It has grown a lot, it now has all the features i need and where lacking at the time.

So, in just a few hours i set it up and configured my external libraries, backup, storage template and OIDC authentication with authelia. All works.

Great kudos to the devs which are doing an amazing work.

I have documented all the steps of the process with the link on top of this post, hope it can be useful for someone.

Your website hasa banner that says it uses cookies and that by using it I acknowledge having read the privacy policy, but if I click More Information it takes me to a page the wiki says want created yet.

i have double checked but i do not have any banner on my wiki at all... Where did you see one? The only cookie is a technical cookie only used for your preferences and no tracking.

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 13 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Never noticed. I don't do anything with the cookies anyway, its just a docuwiki self hosted, no ads, no data collection, nothing. I don't even store logs.

I might need to write the privacy policy... Will do tomorrow.

If you don't process any user data beyond what is technologically required to make the website work, you don't need to inform the user about it.

Im not familiar with doku wiki but here's a few thoughts

  • privacy policy is good to have regardless of what you do with rest of my comments
  • your site is creating a cookie "dokuwiki" for user tracking.
  • cookie is created regardless of user agreement, rather than waiting for acceptance (implied or explicit agreement). As in i visit the page, i click nothing and i already have the dokuwiki cookie.
  • i like umami analytics for a cookieless google analytics alternative. They have a generous free cloud option for hobby users and umami is also self hostable. Then you can get rid of any banner.

The dokuwiki cookie is not for user tracking but for functional use. You don't need user consent for functional use. OP should remove the useless cookie banner altogether

Afaik the cookie policy on your site is not GDPR compliant, at least how it is currently worded. If all cookies are "technically necessary" for function of the site, then I think all you need to do is say that. (I think for a wiki it's acceptable to require clients to allow caching of image data, so your server doesn't have to pay for more bandwidth).
