#12I use invoiceplane https://invoiceplane.com/

#13Syncthing instead of dropbox. Works great for synching music (and only music as I can just sync a single folder) and for replicating important files across multiple computers.
I've got it on a linode and across all my computers.

#14I've tried perkeep out but couldn't really figure out its goal or purpose. It seems to be built on a lot of interesting theoretical ideas of generalised storage without an actual current application. In particular there's some talk on their homepage about software archeologists being able to reverse engineer the format easily in future, but that seems a little presumptuous if they don't find a proper use case between now and that future. Right now it just seems like a less convenient alternative to a filesystem.
I had a related thought recently when trying out the SecureScuttlebutt social network: ssb seems like a format that could fill the intended use case of Perkeep (throwing all your stuff in a database) with the added advantages of (a) having broader applications today, (b) having a wider range of mature db clients and (c) having a well-functioning existing hosted ecosystem for cross-device syncing.
This isn't ssb's intended use case and I haven't tried it yet but I intend to.

#15I try to use self-hosted over cloud-based services. The loss of control over data, privacy issues and just being burnt too many times means services are ephemeral to me at best.
Some of the things I use heavily:
* Nextcloud
* Bookstack
* Privatebin
* Mailu (although I'm slowly moving to a manual setup)
* Wallabag
* Selfoss
I'm also waiting for pixelfed, peertube and pleroma to mature a little more.
I'm moving some of my content away from hosted platforms to self-hosted ones, and looking forward to integrating DAT[1] and Gopher so people have (relatively) safe non-HTTPS options to access content.
It's harder than it seems, although a large part of the puzzle is aggregating the data from these sources and getting them into a format that works. I'm considering creating a lifestream generator using my self-hosted data, and then syndicating from there to various services.

#16I am building TinyDataCenter to host all my IT on RasPi progressively enhanced by cloud; running the same images built for RasPi/Arm and regular x86 back engineered with my big data platform/devops experience.
I’ve been running a live stream and vlog all year on it, now carrying it around in a crate with a UPS, and posting design videos that follow scalable patterns with minimal tools.
Nobody can ban me from the Internet, now.
I also recorded bootstrapping videos and most of the development via screencasts and all on GitHub.
Kinda pitchy I know, but I sell nothing except services and only state what I’ve done, in fact—I believe in it.

#17I setup Redmine, Gitolite, and Jenkins when I started working at a company a few years ago. They worked great and we had a couple of python scripts to make everything fit nicely together (git commit keywords to resolve issues, etc).
Then one day someone decided they needed "reports". We ditched our working system and paid a bunch of money for the Atlasssian suite. To this day I still miss our simple, functional, and free setup.
Bamboo was so bad that we eventually gave up on it and switched back to Jenkins. Seriously Bamboo is one of my most hated software products of all time.
We tolerate Confluence but the fact that the JIRA and Confluence have their own, annoying flavor of markdown, which is different from Bitbucket's flavor annoys me to no end.
Bitbucket (which was called something else before) does have a few nice features but nowadays there are options better than gitolite alone. JIRA has those pretty reports that someone wanted and that are never accurate.
yay.

#18Thank you for posting! Self-hosting is something I wish was discussed more frequently on HN.
I’m yet to depend on any of them, but projects I’ve been eying up are:
- Airsonic as a Spotify replacement (FOSS iOS clients)
- Kodi as a smart tv/box replacement (had this for a while, worked great!)
- NextCloud to host files (generally allergic to php, but too scared of iOS binaries from China to trust the superior SeaFile)

#19I've been using sandstorm.io at the recommendation of a friend, and I'm pretty impressed with it. It's kind of like containerised apps that you run like a server, and once it's set up it's super easy to manage. It's replaced Trello and Evernote for me, and had a bunch of useful trinkets out of the box.
Re: Ask HN: Which self-hosted solutions are you using?
#20Quite a few self-hosted stuff already mentioned, I'd add:
* Youtrack for bug/project tracking (made by the awesome guys pf JetBrains)
* Matrix for chat (only some internal rooms on the private instance, the users stay on the main official Matrix)
* Koken for photo galleries
At some point I'd also like to add:
* a map tile server for openstreetmaps, to remove any external dependency on Google/Apple/any maps
* a jitsi server
* a secure file storage/file sharing solution
