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.

- selfh.st Newsletter and index of selfhosted software and apps

This was posted here yesterday by the dev. Overall the reaction seems positive.
A quick look through the repo it looks pretty legit, it’s a lot of effort to create something that works, with all the documentation (including a lot of planning docs) just to collect data on you. Traffic to various IPs, foreign or otherwise, wouldn’t really be odd for an app like this either. You could try and run it through something like virustotal though to look for malicious code (there are more than a few docker scanning tools on GitHub that use virustotal).
damnit, i didn't check! i was uhh, enjoying my plantlife yesterday and i thought i caught this on the selfh*st weekly newsletter thing
thanks for your info! virustotal sounds like something i should probably look into anyways!
