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.

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

Ive been looking for something to help the navidrome server do its thing, and this looks awesome, but there is one issue that was just opened and closed yesterday, it looks a little sus?

how does one go about digging through and discovering if this is malicious or not?

Looks like on Reddit, the creator is blocking people from reporting things like sending data to foreign servers.

the closed issue speaks of that!

Edit:

also thanks for braving reddit for us!

That was the red flag for me personally in terms of giving it a try. At the first accusation they said "the code is there, I have nothing to hide" (which is entirely fair) but then it devolved into (paraphrasing) "I took down issue reporting because people kept abusing it."

So assuming the best case scenario where the code is clean and it's just a misunderstanding you're still looking at a creator who is willing to censor the community they simultaneously seem particularly eager to reach by self-promoting their project. Not my jam.
