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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

It's not very exciting, but: Network UPS Tools (NUT).
Keep everything in good shape in the event of a power outage.
I have a dedicated vm for things that are crucial to the home network, either latency-critical or network related.
That'd be my dns resolver (I enforce it over VLANs by hijacking anyone trying to do DNS to other resolvers, like random IoT devices), homebridge for less important home automaton and my own matter controller for most important home automaton (controlling the lights).
My router of choice is RouterOS in another VM. I tried opnsense, pfsense, vyatta, and a bunch of others (even a containerized Cisco route), and I settled on ROS, because it was the only one who could do IPv6 properly (apart from Cisco, but that has other issues).
For the less important things I run them on k8s and really, there are only two bits worth mentioning as essential: ArgoCD and nixhelm. Together, they provide effortless and mostly automated software updates with very easy rollbacks. I don’t have to go and manually update every single bit of software and that saves huge amounts of time.
Adguard home
My most frequently used are most likely vaultwarden, Memos, Trilium, Jellyfin, Frigate, Traggo, and beaverhabits. Also AdGuard and NPM but I don’t interact with them.
Oh yeah and freshrss
And! Nextcloud and Baikal. NC only for storage and Baikal caldav and carddav
I'm curious, is there a reason you use Baikal over Nextcloud for cal-/card-dav?
I would probably be happy to not have to run an additional service, so I would have to have good reasons to run Baikal next to Nextcloud. Then again, if I had already setup Baikal and then, sometimes later, Nextcloud, There would probably be a great span where I ran both :D
Audiobookshelf, Calibre-Web, Plex/Jellyfin, FreshRSS, NextCloud, DokuWiki.
For me, the most essentials are definitely:
- PhotoPrism
- Jellyfin
- Navidrome
- Wiki.js
Depends on the situation of course, but for us:
- immich: family photos are important
- docker + ssh: we enjoy hobbying with code, nerds be nerds
- samba: a file sharing protocol that works on all of our things
Yeaaah I hate to admit it... But Samba is the only crossplatform sharing protocol that works with every OS... I wish I could switch to NFS.
Plex, channels, mail, calendar, contacts, wiki
Gitea, wger, jellyfin, samba, *arr stack, jellyseer
@bpt11 headscale is high on my list, since it enables everything else I host to be behind a tailscale VPN.
Radicale for calendar, tasks & contacts
Syncthing for file sync
FreshRSS is the best I've found for RSS
Jellyfin for media
Audiobookshelf for audiobooks (but really more for podcasts, in my case)
