Self hosted Podio alternative

My wife and I are using Podio as a personal tool. We use it as a
spreadsheet where each row is an item where we can add attachments,
comments, tasks, likes/votes. We share recipes, I've put my collection
of Lego/Duplo in it, we put holiday destinations in it, etc.

What could be an alternative? So far I've only found alternatives that
are focused on tasks/Todo (like focalboard), on spreadsheets (nocoDB)
or focussed on a specific use case (recipes, inventory). I love Podio
because it hits the sweet spot between those tools, but I'm looking
for a FOSS alternative.

Anyone ideas?

I've been using Grist for this use case lately. It's a kind of middle
ground between Google Sheets and Airtable and works really well. It
was really easy to setup and use and I've been really enjoying it so
far

Not OP but thanks for mentioning this. Looks like a cool tool I can
make use of

I've tried it, but I really miss features like attachments, comments,
tasks, likes/votes on a row.

You can definitely add attachments (files, etc). It's a column type
you can set. And it definitely takes a bit more work to get those
others setup, but Grist can do them. You'll just need to add a column
manually for each of those purposes and configure them for the
appropriate data type+input style

I see, but it isn't even close to what Podio can do. I see this is a
great spreadsheet-like tool, but I'm looking for something between a
spreadsheet and a task management system like Trello.

Budibase is cool

I don't see any comments/likes/attachments? This is just another
spreadsheet/workflow alternative.

it has a comments plugin and attachments. With Budibase you can build
a custom solution specific to your needs, rather than a ready-made off
the shelf tool.
