This is why you do #selfhosting: all the flexibility you'd want, besides learning and such. Today, sync devices over a VPN and no hands, ma no iDrive or commercial service whatever.

My video overview of open source self-hosted Matomo Analytics as a GDPR-compliant alternative to Google Analytics
Using a self-hosted alternative like Matomo Analytics will be of especial interest to sites that require GDPR compliance and who want to ensure that data and metadata about their visitors are not leaked to external 3rd parties, over which they have no control. Matomo can help analyse visitor, behaviour, acquisition, and goal/campaign data, it can segment and anonymise that data, and also send reports by e-mail.
My video gives an overview of what you can expect to see, as well as the various admin settings available.

PhotoPrism is an AI-powered app for browsing, organizing and sharing your self-hosted photo collection
If the idea of having your photo collection sitting at Google or Apple bothers you, but you still want to auto-upload your mobile photos, and want family and friends to be able to browse using a modern interface, PhotoPrism may be worth looking into.
It installs in Docker and will run on Windows, Linux, macOS, or Raspberry Pi. Since the client user interface is a Progressive Web App, it provides a native app-like experience, and you can conveniently install it on the home screen of all major operating systems and mobile devices. You can use PhotoSync mobile app to securely backup iOS and Android phones in the background to PhotoPrism.
The AI is the wonder part though, as it sorts and searches by recognising faces, locations, automatic classication based on content, colours, chroma, etc.

I think that @FOSSpatents needs to do #selfhosting instead of a bunch of #GAFAM garbage, which isn't just a #privacy violation but technically inferior; moreover, they can cease (dis)service at any time, as Gulag Inc. did http://www.fosspatents.com/2021/12/due-to-bug-mid-november-post-got-sent.html
LimeSurvey – a free and open source self-hosted alternative to SurveyMonkey
LimeSurvey allows users to quickly create intuitive, powerful online forms and surveys that can work for anyone from small business to large business. The survey software is self-guiding for the respondents. They have a cloud hosted option with free and paid tiers, much the same as SurveyMonkey, but there is also the Community Edition which is fully free and open source software which you can self-host. Apart from the freedoms that brings, it also means that any respondent data is also free from tracking and data mining by any 3rd parties.
In this video I tour through a sample survey that I created, where I run through the survey options, I also show how easily a new survey with questions can be started, and I end off with a run through the various general menu configuration options.

Docker Containers and Images explained Simply
OK, this can be a rather technical subject, but give this video a chance without worrying too much about the details. Hopefully it conveys the concepts, because for me, it certainly slotted a few missing pieces together and the light started to shine. I was not clear on why and how volumes worked, and this cleared it up for me (to create persistent data to survive the container being recreated).
With Docker, you can, in theory, create a web application ready for use with just one or two commands. It is easy to update an application by re-pulling the latest image, or even move your apps and data to another server. This channel also has an excellent video unpacking how the docker-compose file actually works.
Using the command line is often the most precise way of doing this, but there are also graphical UI's like Portainer that will achieve the same container creation and management.
I'm using this, and a few other videos, to prepare to migrate my whole web hosting away from legacy installs, to all being docker containers on a different hosting platform. This will also make it easier to move again in the future if I need to.

How to set up Nextcloud on Docker with NGINX
This video was really food for thought for me.... At home, I'm running OpenMediaVault with Portainer and Docker, and all my services are in Docker containers. Updating them is as easy as clicking recreate, and redownload fresh image. The NGINX reverse proxy image makes ita pleasure to manage that side with SSL certs etc.
My paid for VPS server though is all set up with customised Webuzo scripts. I just checked and every service I run on that VPS server, is available in a Docker image... I pay extra monthly for the Webuzo service, and switching to Docker will be cheaper for me, and probably a lot easier to update, especially for my Drupal install. If you've been putting off diving into Docker, it is well worth trying out.
New 'To Do' just added to my task list!

Fosscord is a free and open source self-hostable and decentralised platform compatible with Discord... There should be such an alternative too for Meta / Facebook
This project really exemplifies what I believe should happen to Meta / Facebook too (the use of interoperable standards). Users should be able to opt to use free and open source self-hostable alternatives that can still keep them in contact with their family and friends that choose to stay behind on a platform. It's the best of both worlds for the individuals, and also means they can more freely move to another platform without being locked in.
Fosscord is free, open source, extendible, self-hostable, decentralised, themeable, secure, encrypted, and compatible with Discord... It's going to be better than Discord! Right now it is still a work in progress, so not everything is fully in place.
