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:
-
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.

The fact you mention security features, without ever saying it's 'super secure' tells me you know a lot about what you're doing. I'm so sick of apps like this that start with "most secure app on the net" but you know they're delusional. Thank you, going to check this out.
so uhh, sorry for the late response to this -- was going to reply much earlier, but then suddenly it became more timely than ever...
the good news is, I'm fairly confident in how it handles the filesystem and permissions, preventing unauthorized access to files.
but the part I'm a bit less sure about is sanitizing user data; the kind of vulnerabilities where someone uploads a malicious file and bad stuff happens if you then open that file in a certain way, or someone sends you a malicious link and trick you into clicking it -- in other words, the kind of vulnerabilities which require the attacker to have a certain level of access already, or that requires tricking you into doing something.
...and with version 1.18.5 released just now, we got a prime example of exactly one of those. Really unfortunate timing, but it's a blessing to have so many new and curious eyes on it to spot these sooner rather than later. It is what it is.
