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.

I'm already hosting pihole, but i know there's so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks all! I've got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!

Also interested, after all the *arr apps I would say:

  • EDIT: I forgot about PiHole !
  • IRC bouncer - ZNC for example
  • Minecraft (fabric with phosphor and sodium plugins for performance)
  • Picoshare or Sharry (eikek/sharry on gh)
  • Libreddit

Also a neat web tool for messing with data there is cyberchef.

Thanks to this post I realized there is really only one or two services I really use or need haha (ZNC and the other one is a web tool for a popular ttrpg ->pm).

All of this and more is inside docker containers so if you don't know that I would highly recommend it.

If you are into RPGs Foundry VTT is a great replacement for roll 20 or any of the other virtual tabletops.

SearxNG for search: https://docs.searxng.org/

You can try it using a public instance if you like, but since installing it is easy and painless, just go for it.

thanks - open source search - what a wonderful idea! Although duckduckgo is tolerable, I used google without an ad blocker a couple of days ago while setting up a new system - wow - the search results are so full of clutter and garbage that it's practically unusable. Google search was useful once - not now.

The main reason ChatGPT is popular is simply because it provides information quickly without a gazillion ads and SEO-driven click-chasing nonsense making the internet unusable. There's no "intelligence" beyond a much better and more intuitive information presentation algorithm. OpenAI is just a search-engine reinvented. We need to open source LLMs next.

So, if you don't know yet what you're doing, I wouldn't host anything critical yet, but I'm using:

https://yunohost.org/

And so far, very few troubles. It's a layer on top of Debian to ease self-hosting. Comes by default with email and XMPP server. You can add Nextcloud and many other services as you wish.

Joplin.

You don't strictly have to self host it but it's gotten pretty good with a WYSIWYG editor now and everything.

Nextcloud-snap is surprisingly easy to setup. snap install nextcloud is all you need to have a functioning setup. Then run a second command to setup HTTPS and you're good to go :D
