I’d probably have to go with Audiobookshelf and Kavita. Behind those would be Invidous and Immich.
Jellyfin: An unfederated alternative to Plex, with some pros and cons. Very lightweight, customizable with plugins. Decent iOS and tvOS client from the devs.
Vaultwarden: Unofficial open-source fork of Bitwarden.
FreshRSS: Self hosted RSS + Atom reader, honestly the best way to read news ad free. I recommend using FreshRSS with lire if you’re on iOS.
I’m definitely looking into hosting PiHole down the line, and hopefully nextcloud once i get some more drives
Thank you for not just listing the names of some software. Everyone else in this thread is like “Crimble, JFlax, pIcomIco, Flerbl, and 17 Orangutans.”
I usually just ask recruiters to point those that are pokemon
17 Orangutans isn’t software, it’s just a bunch of apes I’m hosting in my basement server room. I trained one to answer level 1 trouble tickets, but manager said we need highly available maintenance processes. So, I got another container and put an orangutan inside it, and kept doing that until either we hit our KPI or we exhausted the budget.
Literally a coding monkey
lmaoooo ofc :)
Thanks
ofc! if you’re gonna get media and use jellyfin as a front end, contact me on matrix: @joshrandall@matrix.org
Pihole, Bitwarden and Plex.
pihole, wireguard, qbittorrent, sonarr/radarr, Jellyfin, syncthing, NFS.
I’ve considered Airsonic but I haven’t found a good client that looks good and doesn’t behave weirdly. I had one launch about 500 threads trying to transcode the same song which ate up my CPU time on my server resulting in a stern e-mailing from my host.
vaultwarden
- AdGuardHome
- Vaultwarden
- Linkding (plus Injector Extension)
- Jellyfin (plus Infuse and FinAmp)
- Owntone
- Caddy
- Pocketbase
- Uptime-Kuma
What is pocketbase?
Instant backend for web apps. Basically firebase lite
Plex, PiHole, Photoprism, Home Assistant, Syncthing in a hub and spoke config, Caddy for reverse proxy, custom containers for: yt-dlp, restic, and rsync.
Could you elaborate on syncthing hub and spoke?
Yeah I saw a post about it a long time ago on Reddit for users with lots of devices
Basically it is just setting up one or two “central devices” that know all the client devices, but not linking the client devices individually.
IE: One server is connected to your phone, laptop, tablet, desktop, etc. But the phone is not directly connected to your laptop or desktop or tablet.
To be fair I don’t actually know if this is the best approach anymore or if just connecting all of them in a mesh is better 🤷
Here is a forum post describing it.
My guess would be that each of their devices (phone, laptop, etc) syncs back to their server/NAS, but they do not sync to each other. The server/NAS is the hub, and each device is a spoke.
Adguard home, jellyfin and miniflux probably see the most use
Not all I self-host but pihole, plex, & homeassistant are certainly my most used.
FreshRSS: RSS reader (TinyTTS is also decent, but the developer is kind of a richard)
Kanboard: For keeping track of all my client projects (though you can use it for any sort of project tracking)
Nextcloud: It’s pretty full featured, but I only really use it for shared calendars and contacts so that I’m not hosting on Microsoft or Google.
Could you tell more about the developer of Tiny Tiny RSS?
I’m using this apps for years, never heard about the problems with development.
If you take a look at his forums, you’ll see when people request features, or just ask how to set something up, his responses are usually demeaning or meant to put the person down. And a bunch of users there defend or support it. It just leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
I dunno, it might have changed recently, but I doubt it. The app itself, if you ignore the forums is pretty solid. But it was enough to look for another dev, and the one who does FreshRSS is pretty cool, and the posts just seem to load faster through FeedMe (android app)
In terms of services I use the most I guess it would be these:
- OpenHAB + HABapp + zigbee2mqtt + mosquitto (home automation)
- Foundry VTT
- piHole (DNS)
- OpenMediaVault (NAS)
- Grafana + Loki + Prometheus (monitoring)
I love Foundry. Hands down the best virtual tabletop on the market.
Pihole, Wireguard, Syncthing, Jellyfin
Syncthing
1- Pihole + wireguard
2- Searxng
3- Bookstack
4- qBittorentVPN + *arr suite
5- Jellyfin
Paperless-ngx is better than any hosted equivalent.
Vaultwarden and git are in daily use. Everything else comes far behind.
