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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

that self hosted itch.... (sopuli.xyz)

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!

Ooh, self hosted location tracking? Tell me more!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I already run Nextcloud for file sync. One of the apps available in Nextcloud is called PhoneTrack which is a compatible server for collecting and displaying data collected by the owntracks app on my phone. Nextcloud sits behind an nginx reverse proxy

I haven’t tried it on Nextcloud yet but I do this already on home assistant with my girlfriend and I. We can basically replicate the iOS find my app with it.

I personally just started using Owntracks, which is a standalone location tracker. There is also Traccar which I looked into but opted not to make use of.

Some people use it as a Find My replacement, I personally make use of it as a Google Maps Timeline replacement (and have imported my previous data as a result) as well as for Tile tracker location history (which I've got custom scripted currently).
