that self hosted itch....

Anyone else have it ? The more work I do setting things up like dockers, reverse proxies, single sign on, etc. the more I want to do it. But I’m running out of ideas of things to host that would actually benefit me. But I have that itch where I want more lol.

So far I have the following: (EDIT: added descriptions for those who aren’t familar with all of it. )

  1. Caddy - use this primarily as a reverse proxy to access my applications via my domain and outside the house
  2. Nextcloud - mainly using it for cloud storage but also some of their other apps likes decks and tasks as well as contacts and calendar.
  3. Memos - simple note taking app similar to twitter but personal.
  4. Miniflux - rss
  5. Authentik - sso
  6. Portainer - web view of dockers and status / health
  7. KitchenOwl - groceries / recipe management
  8. Actual - zero budgeting (like YNAB)
  9. Firefly iii - finances management
  10. Immich - images / iCloud replacement
  11. Organizr (barely using it. Trying to think of more use cases) - dashboard of all my services
  12. Speedtest - runs daily speed tests and monitors.
  13. Plex - host my media library
  14. Plex_Debrid / rclone - sync real Debrid with plex.
  15. rsync to backup data to one onsite and one off site location. Automated backups
  16. Watchtower automated docker updates
  17. Home Assistant - home automation
  18. Home bridge - Apple home automation
  19. Zigbee2mqtt - manage zigbee smart home devices
  20. Unifi controller - manage my network

I think that’s everything!

Edit: Thanks for the overwhelming responses! I really appreciate everyone with their opinions. First things first I did get borg setup for both my server and my desktop so thats awesome! I am waiting for response from my backup server admin if they can install rdiff-backup for me so I can utilize that as well for my cloud backups.

Going to take a look at a few other of the many suggestions here! More than a few I like!

Oha ,

Anyone else have it ?

Im definitely not commenting from my selfhosted instance lmao

rambos ,

Ill add few that no one mentioned here:

  1. Upsnap - wake-on-lan to wake up my PC when I need remote control
  2. Code-server - txt editor / file browser
  3. *arr - next level torrenting
hogofwar ,

Are firefly and actual different enough to justify running both? I’m looking into them myself.

As for suggestions on other things to host, maybe a recipe manager like Mealie, Tandoor or nextcloud cookbook?

fraydabson OP ,

I haven’t got deep into using both yet but from what I’ve seen so far they are very different.

Actual is basically YNAB so if you’ve used that before you’ll be familiar with it. I am a current subscriber to YNAB and considering fully switching over to Actual.

Firefly iii is like an accounting program to manage all your finances and less about budget categories and giving every dollar a job. I personally don’t see my self using this much.

I am using KitchenOwl right now for recipe management. I haven’t gotten deep into it yet and I am intrigued to try something different. There was another one I was looking at that hadn’t been updated in a while so I just settled on KitchenOwl I’ll check those others out ! Which one is your preference?

I’m currently using Authelia, but would like to see what Authentik provides. The last time I tried it, I remember circling through multiple sections in the web app to add authentication and bypass certain endpoints.

Also, it was considerably heavy compared to Authelia. Still, I would like to give it a chance again to see what I’m missing.

fraydabson OP ,

Yeah I haven’t tried authelia yet. I saw a lot of people talking good about authentik so decided to try it and I like it ! Yeah you have to set up both a provider and app which I believe is different but it’s easy!

conrad82 ,

You could set up specifically clementines and tell me how you got it working 😅😅

I recently started using silverbullet.md (note taking with PWA offline support). And nforwardauth (authentication). I like both so far.

I see you are also missing paperless-ngx, syncthing and gitea

fraydabson OP ,

What is clementines? I use memos for my note taking and has a real nice iOS app.

Paperless-ngx sounds nice. I’m so bad with physical papers and storing them so that could be big for me.

I use Nextcloud for my file syncing.

Gitea sounds cool if I get back into coding.

conrad82 ,

clementines is a shopping list program. it sounded nice, but I couldn’t get the installation working davideshay.github.io/groceries/

I have been using memos too, but I am switching to silverbullet now. I was trying to take/read some notes on an airplane, and memos didn’t work offline. So that is the reason for switching. The developers said offline support is on the roadmap, and suggested using telegram integration for offline note taking until then.

I mainly use gitea for revision control of my docker compose file these days.

Ah, yes when I had iPhone I also didn’t use syncthing. But now I use Android and like syncthing better than Nextcloud. NC stopped working for me a few times, syncthing has been solid

fraydabson OP ,

Oh cool. I am using KitchenOwl and someone else on this post suggested a few recipe managers. I’ll definitely check out clementines (if I get it working haha)

For memos I never realized it doesn’t work offline. Thankfully it’s rare I am offline but that does worry me that when it does happen I won’t have access to my notes. I’ll definitely take a look at silver bullet!

Version control of docker compose files why the heck didn’t I think of that before lol. Would have helped me more than a few times. Going to get that setup as well.

Makes sense. I think I did use sync thing years ago when I was on android. Thankfully the only issues I’ve had with Nextcloud have been user error.

I get it from time to time. It’s why I have 89 containers running and why the powerg.love Mastodon instance exists

fraydabson OP ,

89! That’s impressive lol. I didn’t know about that mastodon instance. Thanks !

Shouldn’t this account be flagged as a bot account? Or am I missing the marker that says it is?

SomeRandomWords ,

Good point, it doesn’t appear to be. Might be good to drop a note on GitHub (or their contact method of choice) so they can set that flag.

Edit: I just went and sent them a mention on Mastodon. I noticed it’s an admin account so I wonder if Lemmy lets both flags be set at once.

Maybe try alternatives to things you run and see if there is a better thing

fraydabson OP ,

That is a good idea ! I meant to do this but forgot lol

somebodyknows ,

How does actual compares to firefly?

fraydabson OP ,

From what I can see they are totally different finance apps. Actual is basically YNAB. Where firefly is not much of a budget tool more of a finance manager. I stopped using firefly for now but still using actual. As soon as they finish work on bank linking I think it’s going to be the perfect zero budgeting tool

ninjan ,

How is it all running? I’d look into moving to proper infrastructure and maybe even go a bit wild and run OpenStack? Maybe with OpenShift on top and migrate your docker stuff into Kubernetes?

Personally I think both OpenStack and OpenShift are cool as shit!

fraydabson OP ,

Out of curiosity what makes that a more proper infrastructure? I’m not against it I actually like the idea but curious the reasoning. I think doing that and trying kubernetes would be a great learning opportunity and potentially help me with job seeking in the future.

ninjan ,

Well that entirely depends on what you’re running now of course. Due to lack of information I assumed the most common setup of community vSphere or Proxmox on old PCs / SFF workstations. If you’re already doing used rack servers, USPs, redundant switches and SAN then it’s not really any more proper just more modern. I put fault tolerance as something that takes you from less to more proper. If you’re hosting important stuff like say security systems, mail, communication like Matrix and the family photos then it stands to reason that it should be run on infrastructure that will last, make upgrades easy and keep your data safe (which also of course requires some kind of off-site capability as well). That said I don’t have the space for a server rack at the moment so I can’t realize my plans in this area, but one day I will!

moist_towelettes ,

I try to find ways to make my setup more bulletproof or faster whenever I get the itch. As an example, I recently switched to OpenSUSE and Podman to take advantage of the LTO optimized packages and rootless containers.

I tried to run my online life through self hosting but I found a lot of the services weren’t reliable or capable enough to get real work done. So I went from 30 containers to about 7 and have a lot less to tinker with.

rentar42 ,

Is "faster" related to rootless here? I switched to rootless docker a while ago and from all I've seen it seems like it would actually suffer in the performance category. I don't run anything particularly demanding and haven't benchmarked anything, so it's more of a gut feeling.

moist_towelettes ,

No just LTO. Right now only Ubuntu, Fedora and SUSE Tumbleweed turn it on by default.

I’ve rebased a few of my containers with SUSE and noticed some improved load times on my web services as well. I don’t run anything demanding either, just bored. It’s like half a second improvement lol.
