I'm only speaking for myself here, but I've been on a bender the last few years to find as many self hosted alternatives to everything as I could.
Trello may well be ok in the long run (Atlassian's a good company), but there are so many apps that are, essentially, at the whim of the owners, VCs, etc. If I end up tying my workflow into them too much, where does it leave me if they close up shop?
As an added exercise, I've specifically been looking at alternatives that can be hosted on lightweight systems (RPi), since I don't reaaaaally trust the cloud with my data. Yes, self hosted bare metal has additional issues (mainly security), but if you can lock those down reasonably well (behind a VPN, firewall, access control, etc), then at least you maintain control over your own data and workflow.
- newsat13 10y agoif you don't trust the cloud with your data, you should just invest in a good server instead of RPi. The RPi is seriously underpowered and this one of those things which just fantasize about but don't get around to actually doing (reminds me of 'i would love to use linux but i use mac')
- tonteldoos 10y agoMy use cases are mostly data intensive, not so much processing intensive. On the back-end, I have a pretty decent NAS and backup strategy in place. The RPi is actually quite good enough to run a few things on that I use regularly :)
