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.

What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers? (lemm.ee)

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.

  • Wekan for Todo list /kanban.
  • GitLab for my source code and projects.
  • synapse for my own matrix server
  • mastodon for fediverse
  • mbin for fediverse
  • mumble for voip
  • nextcloud for my files, calandar and contacts
  • plantuml server
  • many self created telegram bots
  • many websites. Like blog.melroy.org, explorer.melroy.org or Libreweb.org or techwiki.org and so much more..

And then the list goes on and on. Like prometheus, grafana, uptime Kuma, mariadb, Valkey, postgresql, unbound dns, all those things..

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.

Ombi for media requests.

  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.

Depends on what you consider self-hosted. Web applications I use over LAN include Home Assistant, NextRSS, Syncthing, cockpit-machines (VM host), and media stuff (Jellyfin, Kavita, etc). Without web UI, I also run servers for NFS, SMB, and Joplin sync. Nothing but a Wireguard VPN is public-facing; I generally only use it for SSH and file transfer but can access anything else through it.

I've had NextCloud running for a year or two but honestly don't see much point and will probably uninstall it.

I've been planning to someday also try out Immich (photo sync), Radicale (calendar), ntfy.sh, paperless-ngx, ArchiveBox (web archive), Tube Archivist (YouTube archive), and Frigate NVR.

SearXNG, Forgejo, Linkwarden, Vaultwarden, copyparty, all the Servarr apps, qBittorrent and SABnzbd for downloads, Syncthing, Mastodon, and all the various containers like databases and other tools that support the aforementioned.

[–] RagingHungryPanda@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (4 children)

All these. I just added calibre web and may phase out Kavita.

What interface is that, it looks great!

[–] RagingHungryPanda@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

That's TrueNas. It can run docker compose files so I'm abusing the crap out of what it's supposed to do haha.

Are books not media?

I was thinking through my list, and almost mentioned Calibre Web, but decided it's media related.
