Project Autonomous

By chimo on (updated on )

In an effort to take control of my online presence/data and to become more autonomous, I started to migrate away from services hosted by 3rd-parties and setup my own instances where possible.

Here’s a quick list of what’s working at the moment:

A Hugo-powered static site/blog
Publishing platform similar to Blogger.

I use it as a Dropbox alternative, Google Calendar alternative, Contact Manager and Tasks synchronization for now, but it does more than that.
On Android, I use DAVx5 to sync calendar & contacts.

A Grafana instance.
Monitoring things. At the moment, just my Incus instance.
