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.

Off topic, but I wonder if those old visitor counters from the web 1.0 days still work
yep. they're still here. they got smaller, and we call them "tracking pixels" now.
it's just an image, which, server side, you can count the number of times it got loaded. easy to embed and no js required.
Ah I'm not talking about modern tracking pixels, but that actual html (js?) code from yesteryear
Thanks for this idea - the counting would be easy, but I don't have anywhere to store the numbers. With my free Netlify account and my static web site, I don't have a DB and and can't write to a file when someone visits, at least not that I know of.
If you don't have a DB or the ability to store data in general none of the open source analytics software will work either.
Sure but I can't have a HTML or JS file write to any file on my web server directly, so I can't store a number anywhere in Netlify to increment a counter.
