Is there an equivalent of selfhosted but for on-premises software? reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mountain_Seesaw_9244 · 2023-10-16 18:22 Like the title says. I am looking for on-premises software that doesn't need servers. I don't want anything mine on the cloud, so I am looking for resources for on-premises software. ​ ​ PS. Mods, if this violates the rules, please remove. I apologize. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LetTheRiotsDrop · 2023-10-16 18:30 Little confused what your asking, pretty much everything in here is "On-Prem" and a server is just a box running portainer, truenas, ubuntu or whatever OS you'd like. I'd say the folks who host things on VPS's are in the minority on this sub. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mountain_Seesaw_9244 · 2023-10-16 18:35 I (think) I mean, things like software that can't be accessed by others. Just a regular client. Something like e.g. Microsoft Office 2007. Am I explaining it correctly? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-10-16 18:50 No. Office is not selfhosted unless you mean Office server. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- joecool42069 · 2023-10-16 18:52 So just looking for software to run on your pc? There is a lot. Maybe narrow it down a bit by function. Looking for a MS Word equivalent or whatever…. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ThePixlPirate · 2023-10-16 19:02 So you’re just looking for computer software?!? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jusepal · 2023-10-16 19:02 You still doesn't make much sense. Hosting locally, non-cloud is the premise of this sub. Hosting something that usually on the cloud but locally on own hardware, aka selfhosting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BadGroundbreaking243 · 2023-10-16 20:07 You're looking for an internal use software but self hosted..on premise? Wow this is confusing me. What's the purpose of the software? Document processor like Collabora CODE? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pigers1986 · 2023-10-16 20:18 we are dumb, please make your question dumber ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- bklyngaucho · 2023-10-16 20:35 Software running on your on computer on your own network is self hosted. You can secure it to just be accessible from the machine itself running on, the LAN or the WAN. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- hak-dot-snow · 2023-10-16 20:41 >so I am looking for resources for on-premises software. Try googling "software that doesn't require subscription". 🤷‍♂️ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mountain_Seesaw_9244 · 2023-10-16 21:07 Will I need my own homeserver or can I use a regular desktop? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mountain_Seesaw_9244 · 2023-10-16 21:10 I only want a one-person software. I don't want to collaborate with anyone. I don't want to install server software. Maybe this can help? [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On- premises\_software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On- premises_software) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mountain_Seesaw_9244 · 2023-10-16 21:11 I'm sure I am dumber than everyone here. This is on-premises software: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On- premises\_software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On- premises_software) I think it is different than selfhosted, right? PS. I don't know, hence why I am asking ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kmisterk · 2023-10-16 21:42 I think what you're asking for is local-only open-source alternatives to common software. IE OpenOffice instead of Microsoft, GIMP instead of Photoshop, Shotcut instead of Premiere Pro, etc. open-source alternatives to popular software that isn't cloud-synced. Yes? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 100GHz · 2023-10-16 21:49 Regular desktops are fine. Are you more familiar with windows or Linux and what do you want to host? Services , files, backups? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- clintkev251 · 2023-10-16 22:14 >I think it is different than selfhosted, right? Not really, hosting on prem just means not in the cloud really, but instead hosting in your office, home, etc. Basically exactly the same as self hosted, maybe a little larger in scope if you want to be pedantic. That's all to say, I still don't really know what you're looking for. If you're looking for a community about software that you can host yourself on servers that you own, this is the right place ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mountain_Seesaw_9244 · 2023-10-17 02:00 Yes! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kmisterk · 2023-10-17 02:07 So yes, unfortunately, this subreddit is not for that kind of software. but there is a series of places you can find alternatives to mainstream software like this. A quick reddit/google search brought this up for me: https://gitlab.com/linuxcafefederation/awesome- alternatives/-/blob/master/README.md ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kmisterk · 2023-10-17 02:07 ## Post Removed Hey, Mountain_Seesaw_9244!
