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.

I don't give a shit about my car, but I'd love to use this for my bikes! I'm currently using a spreadsheet and self-hosted calendar to keep track, but this would be "easier".

I tried the demo, but maybe I missed it: how do you export the data you've input, in case you need to move it to somewhere else or if the project stops, and you want to back up the data?

Data portability is as important to me as self-hosting.

Checked the demo on my phone, not sure what the desktop site looks like. But on mobile there's two buttons at the very bottom of the page for exporting data

Can you screenshot that?

I see an export attachments (does nothing when I tried), and reports (only prints the data, but doesn't export in any meaningful file format).

[–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Those are the same buttons I saw.

The export attachments I assume is intended to export the files you would upload, like scanned in service records and whatnot. Obviously, the demo throws a "no records" error (or however they phrased it). Presumably, they didn't think about people wanting to test that feature and didn't bother to upload attachments, but you could upload an attachment and then export it to test methinks.

The reports, however is where you've confused me a bit. Mine defaults to exporting to PDF, which is definitely a meaningful format. You can convert it into anything

I know it exists, but would rather self-host and not have this data linked to Strava.

Not sure how data is exported from that app, though.

I track my bikes and ebikes on lubelogger. It's not an optimal solution, but it tracks everything I need it too.

There's a backup button in the settings that creates a .db file.

Thanks. I guess the demo restricts those backup and export features.
