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.

Symfonium looks cool, especially the support for DNLA, but it is not open source and not available on F-droid.
If those are deal breakers for you, that's fine. Most of the apps on my phone aren't open source and I already accept my phone is a device I don't control. I focus on running open infra and controlling my data, and don't worry as much about the phone save for a few key items (e.g. password management).
And, frankly, as far as user experience and featureset goes, Symfonium is second to few or none, at least IMO.
