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.

With the outages this week I have decided to revisit synchronized multiroom audio. The important feature for me is that it needs to utilize the "cast" button within the Spotify/Tidal/etc apps because that's what my family uses.

Does anything exist other than the chromecast audio pucks?

I'm not sure about self hosted specific. There is a device called WiiM. Works with most of the major streaming services. I believe they're also working on plexamp integration too.

I actually looked into Wiim and it's really great, but you need to open the music in their app in order to do mutiroom. You can't just "cast" from Spotify or whatever.

EDIT: Some Wiim devices have chromecast built in
