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.

- 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.
There is a pinned post for this https://lemmy.world/post/60585
I like seeing the same question pop up at least every few months to get fresh opinions, thats like 2 years old ppl could have scrapped their setup and have new ones now
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.
searxng an matrix both on a vps an public an everything else i host local an are not on the web
Actual budget, nextcloud
Besides a media server, I self host my email, a blog, an IRC bouncer, syncthing, SPFToolbox, and in my house I run ADS-B plane tracking.
Ombi for media requests.
- ActualBudget for finances.
- Radicale for calendar/contacts.
- Immich for photos/videos.
- Redlib as a frontend for Reddit (LibRedirect ftw).
- TheLounge as an IRC client.
- Bitwarden/Vaultwarden as a password manager.
- paperless-ngx for documents
Mumble and Wireguard
Some of my friends are heading back to mumble because discord is getting too bloated with useless features.
Wireguard is to be able to access my local network when I am away.
I hear about people wanting alternatives to discord though I never got into using it too much personally, but does anyone know about whether or not Revolt chat is a good open-source self-hostable solution?
I’ve been testing MatterMost for a few days.
It’s closer to Slack than Discord but has most of the same features.
I have tried and their documentation is too complex and incomplete for self hosting. Right now, for communication, I have mumble for VoIP and ngircd as an irc server.
It pretty much covers 80% of discord use case. I am looking for something that support video chat/screen sharing. Synapse is honestly not bad at all. But it’s too power hungry for my liking. I wish Jitsi could have better ux for average consumer. It feels too business like.
Check out Tailscale. It uses Wireguard under the hood, but it’s magic.
God stop pushing tailscale. It’s just abstraction on top of wireguard. Those of us who knows how VPNs work don’t want a third party involved in our routing.
Wireguard + adguard means home ad blocking anywhere I want it.
Or WireGuard + PiHole
- Forgejo - git hosting
- actual budget - spending tracking mostly

In my experience, this is always the case with ha
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.

Lol no? Absolutely not.
This is pretty neat!

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.
Baikal for calendar, todo and contact syncing
Forgejo for version control
Silverbullet for markdown notes
FreshRSS for aggregated news
Linkding for bookmarks
I self-host web apps I write myself? ¯\(ツ)/¯
I’m just starting to get into this myself. I made one so my family can easily check the status of my media server and send a movie, show, or music request to sonarr, radarr, and soularr(WIP) so they don’t have to bug me when they want something and it also helps them to feel they have more agency in the process. It’s pretty useful for me as well to be able to easily download things instead on the go instead of keeping a neverending list.
What kind of apps do you write?
Set up Overseerr.
I don’t see how that’s easier or better, but feel free to change my mind. As it is now no one needs to download a separate app or have multiple logins. They just go to the URL and there’s the status and a form to type in what they want the arrs to start searching for.
It’s like the difference between using Plex and a file browser to find a movie/show to watch.
Not really? To the ADHD mind trying to keep the one piece of media you’re looking for at the top of your mind while you load an app full of suggestions for other shows and movies is a nightmare, and it’s not any more convenient because you’re still going to end up searching for the media you want. The only added convenience is when you’re not looking for anything in particular and just want to see what’s out there and there’s a million better ways to do that. Factor in having to instruct everyone to download the app and create an account rather than just go to a URL you can access from any device anywhere and put in your show/movie/song and in a few minutes you have it. Overseerr doesn’t monitor my services either, or whatever else I want to do. It’s MUCH easier to maintain and more convenient for everyone. And does Overseerr even interact with Soularr or readarr? The functionality of my webapp scales exponentially, I’m not tied to what the developers of Overseerr deem functional.

You don’t have to download an app for Overseerr to add things. It’s just a URL you can access from any device anywhere (assuming you’ve got a domain etc like you must for your web app) and put in your show/movie and in a few minutes you have it.

It does when you set it up.
No skin off my back, don’t use it for all I care - I was just pointing out that a fantastic ready made service already exists for that.
Ah, no I appreciate the back and forth. I was looking into Overseerr once upon a time, but my Plex server is running in a Windows VM and I didn’t want to mess with Windows Docker. A python script and a few HTML files seemed much easier at the time and got the desired result. I am eventually planning to migrate the server to Linux, but haven’t had the time and energy and would have to literally schedule the downtime with my family. It still doesn’t look like Overseerr integrates with Soularr or Readarr but I’ve made a note to play around a bit with it in the future.
I used to get the light prices on my phone widget via a public api. Some years ago they closed the api and started asking for full name and id in order to get api access. So I just made a scrapper that takes the numbers I want from their website and serves an API for the widget.
That’s the only self made app I self host, but I’m quite proud of it.

More adblockers for the ad-blocking god!
You can selfhost find my device? Do you have a link to that project?
Yep you can self-host findmydevice anywhere. Personally, I deployed it on fly.io as I don’t expose my local network to the internet for security reasons
