AnteayerSelf-Hosted Alternatives to Popular Services

What services have you still not been able to replace with self hosted ones (or at least open-source apps)?

It's quite remarkable to me how many services I have been able to replace with self hosted ones (a big thank you to this sub for that) and open source apps.

  • Photos - Immich
  • Movies - Jellyfin
  • Documents - Paperless ngx
  • Podcast - Audiobookshelf
  • eBooks - Calibre web
  • Music - Jellyfin (Finamp app)
  • Read Later - Wallabag
  • RSS - FreshRSS (with Read You app on Android)
  • 2FA - 2FAuth
  • Passwords - Bitwarden (hopefully I'll switch to Vaultwarden someday)
  • Finance - Firefly III
  • Notes - Joplin (with self hosted Joplin server)
  • VPN - ProtonVPN
  • Personal blog - Memos (with MoeMemos app on Android)
  • YouTube - NewPipe (I hope we get to see a real alternative to YouTube someday)

However, there are still apps and services which I have not been able to replace with self hosted ones and open source apps.

There are:

  • Open source PDF reader and editor - I can't seem to find any alternatives to closed source apps for this on Android, nor is there anything like it in the self-hosted space (Stirling PDF cannot store PDF documents nor is it very good at annotating. It's great at conversions which is what it should be used for)
  • Office apps - Even though I am not looking for something as polished as Microsoft Office, there are still no options other than Libre Office for Android whose document editing features are at a very alpha stage. Self-hosted Only Office or Libre Office through Kasm VNC do not work well on mobile.
  • Tasker for Android - there's nothing like it in the open source sphere
  • Folder Sync Pro - One way sync from mobile to NAS to backup photos. This is in addition to Immich doing its own thing. (Folder Sync is basically Rsync, but because it can run in the background on mobile, it's so much better than anything else right now). Syncthing cannot do one way sync
  • Yahoo Finance - A tool to track prices of stocks. I don't think there's anything like it in the self hosted space or on Android which is open source.

Dozzle: a self hosted tool to check docker container logs

The idea behind Dozzle is remarkably simple. It just lets you view docker container logs in the browser. No need for searching for names of containers or typing "docker logs ...". Errors are highlighted beautifully and it's extremely lightweight and easy to use.

2FAuth is a self-hosted solution which is legitimately better than every alternative

2FAuth is a self hosted web application for your two factor authentication codes. It's easy to use and setup. But more importantly, it's one of the few instances where the self hosted solution is way better than every alternative on offer.

Comparison with alternatives

Authy

2FAuth Authy
Private Questionable practices
Little risk of being hacked if you're accessing it through tunneling tools like Tailscale, and not opening it to the internet Authy has been hacked multiple times in the past
No question of syncing/data waiting to be synced Data is synced to their servers (encrypted)
No nasty user-hostile Twitch-Authy tie ups All kinds of nonsense
Open source Closed source, with history of being hacked
Available anywhere you have access to a web browser No desktop app

2FAS

2FAuth 2FAS
Available anywhere you have access to a web browser Access to mobile app is a must even for use on the desktop (desktop browser extension can't work without mobile app)
Very easy to use UI (Personal opinion) The Android app is prone to lags and freezes even on a OnePlus with 16 GB RAM
Data under your control While you can sync to cloud services with encryption, GitHub issues exist about letting users have access to a better form of encryption

Aegis Authenticator

(Aegis is genuinely a good app. Please use it if it works for you.)

2FAuth Aegis
Data is under your control Proper no-nonsense encryption
No need for syncing No syncing (a cost of privacy)
Available everywhere you have access to a web browser No desktop application
