Hello everyone!

I recently switched my Android phone to a custom ROM, and while setting things up, I wanted push notifications without relying on Google. That’s how I discovered UnifiedPush.

Really liking the concept, I decided to rent a small VPS (1 vCPU, 2GB RAM) and started hosting NTFY. So far, it's been working great. Over time, I’ve added a few more services like FreshRSS and Audiobookshelf.

All of this is just for personal use, so the resource usage is minimal (the whole setup only uses around 500MB of RAM). I really enjoy how much value you can get out of such a small machine.

That brings me to my question:

What other lightweight, self-hostable tools would you recommend? I’m especially interested in small, resource-efficient services that you’ve personally found useful.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

do you already have monitoring solution for your vps? maybe prometheus/altermanager and the node_exporter?

    No, so far I just hope nothing breaks :) will take a look!

    With so many recommendations in this thread, Forgejo must be great. I've used it with Codeberg, but self-hosting seems a lot better (especially if they introduce federation at some point).

    Thanks!
