I am looking for self hosted blog/journal that is private by default. Not looking to host a public blog, rather something that I can write more personal entries on and is easy to read later. I want to be able to include multimedia in the entries.

Currently I’m thinking of a Mastodon server with posts set to private by default and turning off federation. It would be awesome to be able to post from my phone as events happen rather than having to find time later.

I’ve tried around with using IMAP and an email client, but not sold on it. Tried using a calendar, but too cludgy.

Open to other ideas!

Memos looks pretty good with the MoeMemos app. Although it doesn’t look like video/audio is supported.

Hm ok. I know you can attach files. but maybe it is not shown inline.

I am not using it anymore so I can’t check. it doesn’t have offline mode which I need for my use case

I did a quick search on their github issue tracker, it looks to me like it supports audio and video

Create a post

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.
