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.

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).

This is my least favorite part of Seafile. If there were a competitive alternative that used a flat file storage backend then I'd switch to that in a heartbeat. But alas, I still have not found one, so I will continue into my 6th year of using Seafile...
Worth noting in 6 years I haven't had any actual trouble with Seafile's storage, and the few times I've needed to I've been able to export data to a normal file system using seaf-fsck even if Seafile isn't running. I'm just not 100% comfortable with it anyway so I understand the apprehension. I'd rather use a standard filesystem and be able to use standard tooling on it.
Honestly this is why I’ve resisted going to seafile. I’ve been using owncloud for a while and it’s been solid, but it’s not my favourite thing in the world.
