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.

Oh shit
This will undoubtedly have a major impact against Microsoft and even perhaps Google.
Everything is pretty sweet except ^the AI productivity features. Hopefully the AI portions are optional opt-ins rather than it being preincluded opt-outs.
No. Anytime who has actually done MSP work understand that most businesses are not purchasing office. They are purchasing a compliance and technology and identity control plane that has just about every add on a business needs.
Personal office use has always been a nice secondary.
MSP?
Managed service provider. Basically corporate IT.
The other person is correct. Managed service provider. The folks running the SaaS, Hardware and sometimes compliance.
Compliance being what is and isn't allowed to run on a computer?
Yes.
Thanks. I didn't know the compliance solution from Microsoft was attached to office.
That and policy enforcement are, I think, the biggest obstacles for Linux adoption commercially.
I actually want AI on my Nextcloud. As long as it runs locally. We've taken thousands of pictures over the years and desperately need some help in categorising them. Unfortunately so far I wasn't able to find any reliable way to automate it.
Have you tried Immich? It runs local and is open source. I haven't yet but was planning to soon as I have the same struggle
Doesnt categorize (if you wanna be specific: Only faces).
But it sure can search pictures by terms.
Yeah, trouble is that it doesn't really work well with Nextcloud together so I would have to migrate all of my devices.
And in the end it doesn't work much better than NC.
Have you tried hiring a couple humans? They're much better than AI. And you help your local (physical or virtual) economy!
Yes, I love giving other people access to my private pictures I explicitly don't host on Google, Dropbox or other external clouds. I usually pay them from the hoard of gold that's stashed away under my bed.
Trusting humans (to any extent) is quite vastly different than trusting corporations, to be honest. But if that's your jingle, you can always do the work with a bulk tagger / gallery assembler. No AI, nor environment killing, needed.
I think they're looking for local "AI" anyway. Since those work directly on your machine, there's no concern around trust (nothing leaves your device) and the resource cost is whatever your hardware uses, or was already using.
There are some concerns still with local models, such as any biases in the training data that was used, but for image classification it wouldn't be that bad.
Search your heart. You know which it'll be.
I don't even have to search. I already know it'll be preinstalled/hidden opt-out based on current tech industry trends :/
I'd usually say that "I'm hoping for the best, prepared for the worst" but honestly at this point I think I have 0 hope, and I'm only prepared for the worst.
Thats from the current nextcloud docs:
I'll sleep much better because of this, thanks again!
I wish I could upvote you twice but you have my thanks🤗❤️
Goddamn✊💪💪💪
The one time I'm super thankful to be wrong🙏
Thanks!🤗
What a breath of fucking fresh air finally🤌✨
I have a nextcloud instance and I can confirm that the ai features are plugins, and are opt-in (and also pretty cool, as ai feature go)
It’s all just part of their addons, so you choose yourself if you want AI. You can even choose to have local AI, if you don’t want to use an external AI, which I believe is ChatGPT.
