Selfhosted

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.

There does not seem to exist like a single, complete solution for this that everyone agrees is the way to go... or maybe I did not look hard enough.

How do you do it?

My priorities are:

Top priority

  • Turn off

Amazing to have

  • Volume controls
  • Pause/play

Nice to have

  • monitoring state (on/off)

I saw that System Bridge exists, and looks almost perfect aside from the fact that is not even in the AUR (outdated) and is not distributed under Chocolatey in Windows... this makes me think that the project is very much not widely used at all.

So, how do you deal with these things?

Windows only but does pack a pretty nice set of features: https://hassagent.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Looks good, but seems a bit outdated? Are you using it?

The original dev has gone silent indeed, but a team of volunteers resumed development recently. So I wouldn't call it outdated, but we'll see if they'll keep up the good work for long.

I've been using it for more than a year to automate a few stuff, it's been good for this purpose so yeah I would recommend it :)
