So, I am soon going to finally set up my first home server. Exams are not that far away, I am motivated as shit, my first own domain is bought and I want to level up my sysadmin skills.

Currently my plans look like this:

  • Host Jellyfin
  • Host my own NAS
  • Some form of hosted musicstreaming integration with my local music
  • Automate Backups and push them on my server
  • make all of the above things available where ever I want using my own self hosted domain.
  • run my own dns

In the long term I also want to be able to host my own webapps, since I will soon start to develop one for someone.

Now I want to know what suggestions do you have, for stuff thats really cool and that I can selfhost.

Edit: thanks for all the replies. Definitely going to look into this.

Very good resource. Well written. I know nothing about him but does seem to have a great rapport with Lemmy SH.

ETA: I'm reluctant, but keen to know so, is there some ancient lore that prevents me from asking 'Is there a reason why noted.lol doesn't live here too?' I searched and I did find a handful of references, but nothing like selfh.st.

You’re referencing the deep lore.

Noted.lol was around awhile before selfh.st and was actually pretty beloved on the SelfHosted subreddit. Then the guys behind selfh.st showed up and some of the people who were contributing to noted.lol started giving them a hard time for “copying” them or some nonsense like that. Lots of drama. Now you never really hear about noted anymore.

I kinda figured. Usually long standing comms/chans/subredits have ancient tomes that guide them. I actually find them both valuable resources.
