- Gitea for my git repositories (moved from gitweb);

- Syncthing + my own FileShelf[0] as a web interface, instead Dropbox;

- Miniflux, a web RSS reader;

- IPython notebooks;

- Customized Jekyll for my blog + comments powered by self-hosted Isso;

- postfix/dovecot + Roundcube for the web mail;

- ejabberd (mostly to have notifications from my VPS);

- goaccess for the web server statistics, portainer and a couple of FCGI scripts for monitoring and deployment;

I am still not satisfied with my setup completely and there are many other things I'd like to tinker with (e.g. DokuWiki, Grafana/Prometheus).

sandstorm.io looks very promising, but the last time I was put off by its desire to take over my VPS (maybe I will bite the bullet and get another dedicated VPS for it).

I run Nextcloud for my data storage, a Mastodon server, Postal for email delivery, Shaarli to store my bookmarks, a selfwritten analytics system to check what devices I should optimize my website for. Additionally a Gitea instance for git repository access and Drone CI for ... CI as well as TinyTinyRSS. An RSS reader I have yet to find a replacement for, stuff like Miniflux and friends all don't have the category and filter system TTRSS has so I'm stuck there.

Atm I'm preparing to also selfhost a small shop frontend and a Peertube instance for my Mastodon instance. I also want to overhaul monitoring and log shipping to centralize it and maybe reinstall a wiki for keeping track of everything.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You can try Gogs as a replacement of Gitlab for small/personal projects.

Gitea is a better gogs fork

It's not necessarily better, they're different.

I run Gitea since the goal there seems to be more like Github while Gogs seems to aim more for a Gitlab-Light experience.

I've been trying out fossil[1] for some small personal projects, it's a DVCS based on SQLite (from the same author, drh) and includes a wiki and issue tracking. I think I might even be starting to prefer it to git/git(lab|hub). [1]: https://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/index.wi...

How well does fossil work with binary files?

Thank 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)

For a spotify replacement also checkout funkwhale:

Why would you want to replace TinyTinyRSS? It's been rock-solid for me.

I run a whole bunch of different servers and apps in Docker on an old laptop with an i7 processor and 16GB RAM. One of my favourite self-hosted apps is WikiJs ( https://wiki.js.org/ ). It takes a git repository of markdown files and turns it into an editable wiki and syncs back changes to the git repository. I also use InfluxDB with Chronograf and Telegraf ( https://www.influxdata.com ) to collect and analyse logs. I…

I also like the TICK stack and we recently chose this for production use over Elastic. Admittedly Elastic has more features and is possibly even more stable, but TICK inherently much more efficient (you can run it on a Raspberry Pi). InfluxDB also has some nice downsampling and retention policy features that allows it to run more efficiently in a constrained environment.
