So, I am soon going to finally set up my first home server. Exams are not that far away, I am motivated as shit, my first own domain is bought and I want to level up my sysadmin skills.

Currently my plans look like this:

  • Host Jellyfin
  • Host my own NAS
  • Some form of hosted musicstreaming integration with my local music
  • Automate Backups and push them on my server
  • make all of the above things available where ever I want using my own self hosted domain.
  • run my own dns

In the long term I also want to be able to host my own webapps, since I will soon start to develop one for someone.

Now I want to know what suggestions do you have, for stuff thats really cool and that I can selfhost.

Edit: thanks for all the replies. Definitely going to look into this.

What are the advantages of Invidious, compared to Piped?

I have been self-hosting Piped for the last 3 years, but I never tried Invidious.

Well my piped instance has been broken since about a week or two ago. It's not very actively maintained IMO. And I'm not spending a bunch of time trying to implement some shady fix that 1 random on the internet said to do that isn't the dev.

Are you talking about the "The page needs to be reloaded" error?

The current solution is to use nieveve/piped-backend for the API.

I have used their image before, when there was an issue with Piped appearing as a bot and requiring captcha.

Here's what worked for me:

# image: 1337kavin/piped:latest
build:
  context: https://github.com/ac615223s5/Piped-Backend.git
  dockerfile: Dockerfile

I think it's the same thing, except I am pulling the pre-built image

[-] USSEthernet@startrek.website 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah that's the error. However the fix I saw was different I think. If it's just using a different image, I'll need to look into that.

I don't know, to be honest. I have never hosted Piped.

Seem to have very similar features.
