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.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

No one has mentioned Open Web UI, which is part of this landscape.
Open Web UI is the chat interface you use to interact with a model. I haven't really dug into much of the functionality beyond simple chat, but there's thousands of community plugins for web search and similar. You can also create knowledge bases and attach them to queries. For example if I have a bunch of policy and procedure documents from my work, I can create a knowledge base and ask the LLM to create new policies in that context.
You can configure it to work with ollama, which allows you to run LLMs from huggingface.co and similar on your own hardware.
However, in my own case I just don't have anything resembling a modern powerful GPU, so I don't run ollama locally. You can use a paid account at huggingface.co and use their API to do the inference (running the models). Not all LLMs are available this way but certainly many are.
More recently I've discovered that OVH, (a french bare-metal host I've used for years) provides an inference API for a half dozen models, and I've found this to be blistering fast compared to huggingface.
