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:

  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.

Essentially, I'm looking for self-destructing messages. I grab a link, I send it to a family member, they read the information, it's gone after they read it, and all they need to have to interact with it is the original link to the url.

Are there any foss solutions by which to just type out a message, send a link to someone and have it be deleted after they read it?

I'm aware that Nextcloud has the ability to share links to users who don't have accounts for temporary spans of time, that's... similar, but I don't believe it can instantly disable after the first visit.

I think I've seen some things like that, but you can never stop them from taking a screen shot, with a camera if necessary.
