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.

Yea, that's a lot of ambiguity.

"Doesn't work". Well, yea, if you only install it on your phone - it's a multi-device sync tool.

For Windows I recommend SyncTrayzor, for Linux and Mac it's Syncthing, for iOS it's Möbius.

I've installed it hundreds of times, the only time it hasn't worked was between 2 Android devices of a specific version, and this is a documented thing.

It's ok if you don't like my comment. But I specified in my original comment that I installed on Cachy as well. I value this convo because (hopefully) it will help future people. If you don't know what Linux is that's fine too
