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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I R fucking C. Who needs all the other garbage in teams?
Anyone know of something that isn't Nextcloud Chat?
Do you absolutely need to put ONE tag on it all and say this is it?
Check out Big Blue Button - https://demo.bigbluebutton.org/
Their website talks all about using it for teaching students but it's really just like Jitsi with more features.

I have not tried Matrix yet but I hear it's a good replacement, fashioned more to the likes of Discord but I think it has everything you're looking for

There is no way to do what teams does without significant infrastructure. Same with Slack and others.
If you want something that just gets close to the mark, look at Jitsi. It's about as complete as you could expect for just video/voice.
What you may not understand about conferencing platforms is that they are dozens of different hosted services working together to provide a cohesive UE. Video, SIP, VOIP, auth, identity...these are all separate services that are deployed as microservices to get what you get. If you find the bare minimum of the services you actually need, you can probably cobble something together, but it's not going to be a simple running of one service to get the same experience.
I'm hosting a matrix server with a TURN server and it's fairly easy to selfhost. This sounds exaggerated.
That just covers voice/video. OP is asking about a lot more.
And chat. But yeah, no groupware.

Jitsi
,but it is a pain in the ass to selfhost with good performance.
You can take a look here as well:
One alternative that is not on the awesome selfhosted list is: https://edumeet.org/
But it is even more of a PAIN to selfhost it.
