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.

Hi everyone!

**Postiz is an open-source social media scheduling tool that offers scheduling on: ** Instagram, YouTube, Dribbble, LinkedIn, Reddit, TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest, Threads, X, Slack, Discord, Mastodon and BlueSky.

Check it out here :) https://github.com/gitroomhq/postiz-app/

I have been working on mostly bug fixes lately and improving the platforms, some of the latest things:

  • Many failures of posting on small things like character limit or uploading size.

  • Fix problems in LinkedIn not loading pages.

  • Team invite was fixed :)

  • A bunch of docker changes to make it super easy to load. It's now live on: Coolify, Ptah soon Cloudron

**But the most important thing in the roadmap here is what I was mainly asked: **

  • Add and an option to schedule stories on Instagram and add music to them

  • Public API

  • YouTube community posts schedule

  • Google Business schedule

  • Auto Plugs (I'm super excited about this one): Once tweets get X likes, they will auto-repost, add comments to tweets, and so on; this will be sent to all social media.

  • SSO

  • I am happy to hear about more requests.

One clarification after seeing many comments over and self-hosted: Postiz will always be apache-2, no weird dual license thingy, and no enterprise-only SSO.

Postiz is not making much money. Today we are on a product hunt. If you can help me out, it would be amazing, but if not, I love you anyway :)

Thank you so much for this community for helping me with every post!

You could add Fediverse support: https://github.com/gitroomhq/postiz-app/issues/345

(Just thinking of that, since we're currently talking via the Fediverse. But this isn't a request, I don't use social media enough to need a scheduling tool.)

Speaking of where we're talking on just now, Lemmy support in general would be great too. Not sure but I assume your suggestion would mean the same thing?

We had the same discussion 3 weeks ago: https://lemmy.world/post/21202413

Tl;dr: mastodon.social is hardcoded in the program. So it supports that one instance only.

And I think OP is sneaking this post in from Reddit. The mentioned discussion on "selfhosted", isn't what happened here. So I guess they mean r/Selfhosted

[–] MalachiAzrael 4 points 6 days ago

Fair enough
There is an identical post on r/Selfhosted so guessing a copy paste job

Oh, it's supposed to be "Post-iz" not "Poz-tiz" like I read it.

What’s a social media scheduling tool?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

A tool to schedule social media posts

I was following this project for a little while and it's amazing the progress you've done so far.

I'm using a proprietary solution at the moment, and I hate giving them my credentials. Also, the platform is not really reliable (it's Postly, for anyone interested).

I have my posts scheduled for the next couple months there, so it might give me time to have another look at the actual state of Postiz, and see if my small knowledge will be enough to deploy it on docker.

Any plans on adding support to pixelfed anytime soon ?

Thanks for your work.
