Selfhosted

not sure if this is on topic, but i self-host little apps i've made to solve very specific issues via claude code. i also self-host some of the most popular ones like Plex, Jellyfin, Actual, TeslaMate, etc. I think my favorite is Plex, but I feel that it has been going downhill lately. i tried to play a 480p video of futurama s1e1 on my phone. Brand new phone, strong wifi - would not play smoothly. No problem on my ipad, no my problem on my laptop. And even though i have a lifetime pass, i don't think there's anyway to report the issue or get support - at least not that I could find. I'm thinking eventually i'll just move everything over to Jellyfin.

Just gonna say it.

Stash. Is a great FOSS media management platform for primarily adult content.

I love Immich. I've pulled in all my photos going back to high school in the early 2000s and it's so awesome having a timeline of them.

if hosting on a VPS counts:

• radicale (DAV)
• Gitea/Forgejo
• My websites

Self hosting our budget with Actual has been a game changer for my partner and I. No other budget app really worked for us but this was super easy and the PWAs really make a difference.

I run many of the usual suspects, but I would say Home Assistant is on the top of the list.

• Integrates with seemingly endless smart home devices
• Make automations that make your house seem like magic
• Make it look just how you want it to
• and best of all, it costs ~~numerous hours of tinkering~~ nothing!

Navidrome for me. I have a physical collection of around 2000 albums across CD, vinyl, and cassette, plus a lot of digitally only purchases over the years. Finally getting it all on my own server and being able to just tap a button to shuffle the entire collection is just about everything I ever wanted.

apart from the usual suspect like, Jellyfin+Plex (still have some straggler users that need to upgrade their players for JF to work properly), Immich, nextcloud etc, I really like running Birdnet-Go. I give it my CCTV camera feeds and it uses a NN to identify birds it hears.

I get statistics about species heard around the property, charts to correlate detections to seasons and weather, and some interesting info about rarer species that I didn’t know were in my area. Every morning I check it to see if there was anything new recorded.

it doesn’t really have a purpose, though the data can be submitted to larger databases, but it's just a nice thing to have.

EDIT: Also Vaultwarden, forgot about that, super happy to be hosting my own password manager instead of trusting (and paying for) companies like Dashlane to host it like I used to.

Mine is my Jellyfin.

With a good few plugins it's gotten to the point now that my Jellyfin is my

Movie Shows And music service

Its been really fun to hunt for blurays of my favorite shows and take the time to rip them and get all the extras labeled.

Same goes for looking at bandcamp and buying CDs again.

I still have some media I liberate.. I mean they won't make blurays of everything sadly.

If I had to only pick one that is by far Home Assistant.

OpenWRT, pihole, immich are among the most well-functioning powerful and clean pieces of software I have ever used. They just work.

So hard to pick a favourite. I'm especially proud of having the mail server.

Several things. Mosquitto to control an ecosystem of LEGO models, some CALDAV syncer, and a mediawiki engine for D&D worldbuilding.

Selfhosting Lemmy has been surprisingly nice

Definitely Plex, it's pretty much the entire reason I'm self hosting in the first place!

Haven't watched or listened to any mainstream media in another way for years and it also gets plenty of usage from other people.

I didn't expect to even need a NAS, but I can no longer live without two now. Having all my data in one place, automated backups on my secondary NAS. I found a cloud storage provider I like. Just the whole stack is wonderful and I'm never going back.

Immich
Jellyfin
HomeAssistant
Dawarich
HortusFox

In that order.
Things like the *arrs, traefik/authelia, etc. are just a necessity and not something that gives back like the 5 mentioned at first.

My own art gallery. Started feeling the ick about posting on social media and just moved everything to my own hand-coded home page in Lustre. Feels nice to have a little space that's just mine.

It ain't much, but I'm also pretty proud of my Forgejo+actions setup. Pushing a commit and seeing my services update, knowing it's all happening on "my" (VPS, but still) infra gives me such a warm fuzzy feeling.

My list, starting with most important tools:

baïkal
immich
paperless ngx
copyparty
vaultwarden
netbox
searxng
navidrome+feishin
jellyfin
forgejo
grafana
reitti
cryptpad
bentopdf
grist
rustdesk

Game servers that my friends can enjoy

I still love getting messages via xmpp from friends and family using my own snikket/ejabberd instances after years of use. Calls as well.

Video conferences via jitsi meet fill my heart with joy since the covid epidemic. These are also xmpp based. It's just a cool lightweight protocol.

Plex. Right now we're on vacation and can chill out with our current shows before bedtime, watching on the TV of the relative hosting us. No fuss. Aside from Movies and TV Series it also holds my music collection, Plexamp is awesome.

I've not gotten very deep into selfhosting due to priorities and time but I look forward to trying Immich as well as Home Assistant in the future.

PieFed and Navidrome

Fediversing with the whole world from my own server while listening to music that no "rights holder" can revoke the license to. It's a liberating feeling.
