Since selfhosted clouds seem to be the most common thing ppl host, i'm wondering what else ppl here are selfhosting. Is anyone making use of something like excalidraw in the workplace? Curious about what apps that would be useful to always access over the web that aren't mediaservers.

    You’re a brave one admitting that on here. Don’t you know LLM’s are pure evil? You might as well be torturing children!

    Ais fine as a tool, trying to replace workers and artists while blatantly ripping stuff off is annoying, it can be a timesaver or just helpful for searching through your own docs/files

    If you agree it’s a time saver, then you agree it makes workers more efficient. You now have a team of 5 doing the work of a team of 6. From a business perspective it’s idiotic to have more people than you need to, so someone would be let go from that team.

    I personally don’t see any issue with this, as it’s been happening for the existence of humanity.

    Tools are constantly improving that make us more efficient.

    Most of people’s issue with AI is more an issue with greedy humans, and not the technology itself. Lord knows that new team of 5 is not getting the collective pay as the previous team of 6.

    Mumble and Wireguard

    Some of my friends are heading back to mumble because discord is getting too bloated with useless features.

    Wireguard is to be able to access my local network when I am away.

    Calendar and contacts (i.e. CalDAV/CardDAV). A blog. Media is just remote-mounted since all my systems are Linux.

    I'm always leery of "one app for all" solutions, or in German, "eierlegende Wollmilchsau".

    Hence, no Nextcloud for me.

    KitchenOwl is my latest addition and I am getting a lot of use out of it - s/o and I use it to share a grocery shopping list, slowly starting to add my recipes to it as well. I used to use a shared google keep list but KitchenOwl works a lot better.

    Storyteller, ever wish you could listen to an Audio book and read an ebook at the same time.

    Storyteller can combine an Audio book and and ebook to create a single ebook that can be read like a normal ebook or you can listen to it and watch the actively spoken sentences highlighted in real time like a karaoke song lyrics.

    I randomly think about something I want, and then usually find it here. Used to be a GitHub repo, but it got so popular and useful they got a nice site with search and all, now.

    https://awesome-selfhosted.net/

    I don't have as much running anymore outside media/games, but I do still run Stirling PDF as an Acrobat Pro alternative.

    Besides a media server, I self host my email, a blog, an IRC bouncer, syncthing, SPFToolbox, and in my house I run ADS-B plane tracking.

    Foundry VTT (I know it's technically for a game but it's technically a virtual tabletop and not a game itself)

    AI Chatbots for tech support

    I technically self-host an image generation AI through my main home PC, but that's made less accessable and only on when I specifically demand it via ssh lol

    Occasionally I'll throw a temp website up for local events for like event schedules or whatever, an easily accessable and editable html file or whatever

    1. Gitlab (version control)
    2. Bookstack (wiki)
    3. Joplin (not a webapp, but sync server)
    4. Semaphore (does all of my infra updating via Ansible)
    5. Uptime-Kuma (monitoring/alerting)

    Been thinking about adding NextCloud mostly for the Google Docs/MS Office replacement at some point.

    But honestly most of my stuff is just for me, my family prefers to to use whatever commercial thing is out there. So I tend to limit things to infrastructure type things that are of personal interest to me alone.
