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.
Resources:
- selfh.st Newsletter and index of selfhosted software and apps

One of my favorites is Whoogle, a simple Google search proxy. It accepts search requests and forwards them to Google anonymously, then strips out the AMP links and tracking. There's even an option for it to use Tor so your IP address changes frequently.
All of the public instances seem to be rate limited and not return any results. Take it you don't get that issue self-hosting it?
Correct. And it's such a tiny, simple Docker install you could theoretically run it locally instead of a server.
Does your server have to be accessible from the internet or is it enough that it can go out to make the request? Just asking because I am keeping my setup in our intranet, no access from outside my home.
Yep, it just needs outbound connectivity. I run mine on an intranet like you, with VPN access for when I'm not at home.
