Hey, community :)
I run a website that showcases the best open-source companies. Recently, I’ve added a new feature that filters self-hosted tools and presents them in a searchable format. Although there are other options available, like Awesome-Selfhosted, I found it difficult to find what I needed there, so I decided to display the information in a more digestible format.
You can check out the list here: https://openalternative.co/self-hosted
Let me know if there’s anything else I should add to the list.
Thanks!
There are awesome self-hosted, awesome non-free self-hosted and awesome sysadmin too
UPDATE: I’ve added advanced search filters directly on the listing, so you can now filter self-hosted tools by their alternative, category, tech stack used and licence they’re released on 🔥
Love the list, but scrolling through, the one liners don’t mean much for a lot of these.
The descriptions are just too short and vague to even understand what a lot of them actually do.
Added longer description and major alternative when you hover over the cards. Hope that’ll make it easier to browse.
What self-hosted alternative would you recommend for document collaboration? Word processing docs, spreadsheets, pdf’s, etc.
I was using Nextcloud, but it’s not been as straightforward for file-sharing as I’d like, multiple people can’t work on a document at once, and it doesn’t save changes consistently (especially with fillable PDF’s).
Onlyoffice + Nextcloud. Is a little complex to self host the Onlyoffice Document server (the backbone of Onlyoffice collaboration), but it works very nice for multi user document collaboration, it even works on federated instances when using same document server.
Thanks! I’ll give it a whirl.
