Since selfhosted clouds seem to be the most common thing ppl host, i’m wondering what else ppl here are selfhosting. Is anyone making use of something like excalidraw in the workplace? Curious about what apps that would be useful to always access over the web that aren’t mediaservers.

Foundry VTT (I know it’s technically for a game but it’s technically a virtual tabletop and not a game itself)
AI Chatbots for tech support
I technically self-host an image generation AI through my main home PC, but that’s made less accessable and only on when I specifically demand it via ssh lol
Occasionally I’ll throw a temp website up for local events for like event schedules or whatever, an easily accessable and editable html file or whatever
I see mention of Foundry, I upvote. My friends and I have been using it for a couple years and still find new ways to be impressed by it.
I just started porting a DnD Beyond campaign into it and using it to store homebrew world info for a future game, but so far it’s been basically everything I ever wanted from Roll20 or DDB, but self-hosted and they give you access to the code so you can just… Code in features you want
Thinking about pirating the FFXIV TTRPG when someone puts it up and making it in Foundry if it’s not already done by someone smarter eventually lol
Actually Budget for finances, Nextcloud for everything office and organization, Home Assistant for home automation, paperless–ngx for storing and sorting documents, freshrss for news, ntfy.sh for notifications.
i dont understand ntfy.sh
you need an app to run to get messages? which you already do with home assistant and companion app or apprise. what is the usecase for ntfy?
Home Assistant notifications and almost all other notification services on phones actually route notifications through a cloud service like Firebase because Apple and Google try to railroad apps into their platforms. Ntfy lets you actually self host notifications without a third party, but also without killing your battery.
That’s not the main thing I care about, though. Mainly I use it as a self hosted replacement for PushBullet, to share links and files with myself across machines and do some light alerting for servers and stuff (e.g. TrueNAS errors). Some of that could he done with HA, but ntfy is just better for some other uses with stuff like its web ui.
Plus, apart from that ntfy is really easy to integrate with other stuff, like its easy to send a notification from a shell script or web hook so you can hack it into things that don’t otherwise support notifications (there are also lots of things that support ntfy natively, e.g. the arrs).
i cant follow your first paragraph. at all. i use companion app from fdroid withouth gsf and a selfhosted homeassistant. you could aswell connect apprise to it, you can uding telegram or whatever…all in homeassistant.
ntfy iphone and google app from playstore do share your data, right? and you use that to share data in LAN? i am confused.
Not entirely sure about the de-google’d version of the Home Assistant companion app, but I know the regular companion app uses Firebase (and whatever the Apple equivalent is called, I forget) to deliver notifications, and it still would using Telegram as Telegram also uses Firebase. Apprise is a bit different as it can use multiple backends. Regardless, there are multiple ways to do things. Ntfy iphone and google app do not route your data through a third party server. I self host the ntfy server on my own machine and domain and my phone connects to it and receives data. It will deliver notifications wherever I am, not just in my LAN. It also provides a nice UI akin to Pushbullet I can use to send myself stuff privately.
You can’t replicate all of what ntfy does with Home Assistant. There’s more to it than just delivering notifications, it’s the whole app frontend and persistent data etc. If it’s not clear to you what it’s for from my description you might have to go look into it yourself. Look at PushBullet, that’s most similar to what I primarily use it for.
@3dmvr @selfhosted I’d say DNS server is the most important self hosted server I have.
KitchenOwl is my latest addition and I am getting a lot of use out of it - s/o and I use it to share a grocery shopping list, slowly starting to add my recipes to it as well. I used to use a shared google keep list but KitchenOwl works a lot better.
Was trying this, but I’ve had issues with the app not properly synchronizing with the server. Does that work for you and if so, what’s your setup?
Was supposed to replace “Bring” and due to the issues, currently using grocy, where sync works, but is otherwise very tedious to manage inventory.
Dang sorry to hear that - I just followed the docker compose instructions and setup Caddy (which was also new to me) on my VPS and I was off the races, no issues yet.
Alright, might have to do some deeper investigation for why it’s messing up. Anyhow glad to hear it does work in principle and it may be something I’m doing - thanks!
Vpn, nas, home assistant, dns, reverse proxy, adblocker, specialty controller units, misc project vms/containers.
I randomly think about something I want, and then usually find it here. Used to be a GitHub repo, but it got so popular and useful they got a nice site with search and all, now.

I don’t have as much running anymore outside media/games, but I do still run Stirling PDF as an Acrobat Pro alternative.
Like others have mentioned, Actual is great. Couldn’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to start budgeting. Others I run but haven’t seen mentioned yet: ChangeDetection, Adguard Home, Homepage, BambuStudio, and Statistics-for-strava
Why dont they sell routers that come with adguard built in, or is that a newer thing? Well, googled it after typing that and it comes preinstalled on some routers now
!mikrotik@lemmy.world routers are made in Europe and have adblock built in
All OpenWRT-based routers have the option of built-in DNS-based adblock, can thoroughly recommend the Turris routers for such things.
Mealie for recipes
Mealie is so underrated. They have meal planning, recipes, recipe parsing from the internet, grocery lists based on recipes and meal plans, like 4 different ways to organize recipes, and OIDC/SSO on top of it all!
Stripping the dogshit ads and filler from recipes makes it worth it alone.
Everything else is also great.
Mealie is what keeps me s/o tolerant of my selfhosting obsession
Forgejo Jellyfin Navidrome PiHole AudioBookshelf Manyfold FoundryVTT sometimes
SearXNG, Forgejo, Linkwarden, Vaultwarden, copyparty, all the Servarr apps, qBittorrent and SABnzbd for downloads, Syncthing, Mastodon, and all the various containers like databases and other tools that support the aforementioned.
- Gitlab (version control)
- Bookstack (wiki)
- Joplin (not a webapp, but sync server)
- Semaphore (does all of my infra updating via Ansible)
- Uptime-Kuma (monitoring/alerting)
Been thinking about adding NextCloud mostly for the Google Docs/MS Office replacement at some point.
But honestly most of my stuff is just for me, my family prefers to to use whatever commercial thing is out there. So I tend to limit things to infrastructure type things that are of personal interest to me alone.
Gitlab
This guy has a lot of memory in his server
It is allotted 16GB out of the 62GB total that the host has. Which is the amount their docs call for in a 20 RPS or 1000 user scenario. Since I am the only one doing any commits or pulls, it does fine.
Does take its sweet time to reboot though. 😆
Wow, I would never considering allocating so much memory to a single service I run at home.
Ombi for media requests.
Storyteller, ever wish you could listen to an Audio book and read an ebook at the same time.
Storyteller can combine an Audio book and and ebook to create a single ebook that can be read like a normal ebook or you can listen to it and watch the actively spoken sentences highlighted in real time like a karaoke song lyrics.
ever wish you could listen to an Audio book and read an ebook at the same time.
Lol no? Absolutely not.
This is pretty neat!
https://storyteller-platform.gitlab.io/storyteller/docs/intro/what-is-this
Sounds like you need both the audio and the ebook to make it work?
I typically only have one or the other.
Depends on what you consider self-hosted. Web applications I use over LAN include Home Assistant, NextRSS, Syncthing, cockpit-machines (VM host), and media stuff (Jellyfin, Kavita, etc). Without web UI, I also run servers for NFS, SMB, and Joplin sync. Nothing but a Wireguard VPN is public-facing; I generally only use it for SSH and file transfer but can access anything else through it.
I’ve had NextCloud running for a year or two but honestly don’t see much point and will probably uninstall it.
I’ve been planning to someday also try out Immich (photo sync), Radicale (calendar), ntfy.sh, paperless-ngx, ArchiveBox (web archive), Tube Archivist (YouTube archive), and Frigate NVR.
Joplin. I have it as a sync server. But have it tucked away in a cloud server for the times when I’m traveling so j always have a way to access data in case my phone gets stolen/confiscated.
