#72I'm hosting this thing [1] to have a search-by-image capability among my images. Here's a blog [2] which describes how to install it and how I wrote a Common Lisp client for it.

#74Can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet, but Nextcloud (or Owncloud): https://nextcloud.com/ It's basically self-hosted Dropbox, with clients for all mayor Desktop and Mobile OSes. I set it up for a little team project. Just one account, and a shared folder where people with a password could upload. I think we will move to individual accounts at some point. But it supports much more. It has a calendar similar to G…
Nextcloud designer here, thanks for mentioning and good to hear you’re happy! :)

#75I self host everything I can at home, so this list might be a bit too exhaustive, but there wasn't any scope on this ask HN, so... Overall hardware platform: 4 pcengines alix boxes for openbsd router/firewall appliances 3 supermicro Opteron servers with KVM/corosync/Sheepdog/csync2 for hosting all VMs Software: PF + CARP + pfsync + OpenBGPD for routing Unbound + NSD + Bind for DNS SSH/OpenBSD ipsec/apache Guacamole f…
I bet you're not in California. The $.27/KWh we pay here would be a showstopper :)
Haha, your're right about that!
Even in BC with $0.10/KWh it still adds up, but I write it down to education, privacy and entertainment : D

#76Single, large machine with 28GB of RAM, Intel i7 @ 4.2GHz running in my bedroom closet, connected to a high-speed 1Gbps/down network. Whole thing runs Ubuntu 16.
It basically runs almost every service I use:
- Plex. I tried to use XBMC, but Plex just kills it with their mobile app as well so I can just continue watching on the iPad. It's like having your private Netflix.
- OwnCloud, a self-hosted Dropbox/Google Drive. I keep my password database (KeePass) here and it nicely syncs across my devices. I also store non-essential photos there.
- cgit, a simple Git server. I used to run gitlab, but this is much more elegant and simple for archiving repo's and hosting my personal repo's, I don't need much.
- OpenVPN Server, in case I am in a country where there are certain restrictions to what I can access and what not. Also useful in case I need to access some stuff I don't expose over the internet.
- Henk, my personal home-automation system. I've automated various parts of my home, such as lighting, air conditioning, heating, roller blinds etc. It's a bit too exhaustive to outline here. In short, some micro services hooked up over Kafka. I have multiple instances of those services running in some EC2 machines on Google Cloud in case something happens to my home-server. This is probably the most important piece of software I have running. It's fully automated, so if it goes down, I'll lose the comfort of the AC turning on when I am on my way home.
- Camera security system. I used to work at a camera security company. I run their software to monitor my home.
- Transmission, torrent client. I've written some scripts for post-processing downloads. When a move finishes downloading, it moves it into the right location, looks up subtitles on OpenSubtitles.org and adds it to Plex.
- Nginx + LetsEncrypt for all of that. All of those services have web-interfaces. I run the web servers locally and use Nginx's reverse proxy to expose them on a subdomain. LetsEncrypt certificates for all of it.
I've considered renting dedicated machines, but I don't really feel comfortable not having this on my own servers.
Other tid bits:
- I live in Romania, 1Gpbs/down costs about $5/month here. Same goes for electricity, that costs about $15/month for the entire home.

#77InvoicePlane is a superb tool that I regularly use for writing, sending and tracking of the invoices that I send to my clients: https://invoiceplane.com/
I wish it had a proper API, though.

#78Pi-hole - network-level adblocking on a Raspi, so even devices without adblockers get that advantage Dokku - Heroku-like Docker env for Ruby on Rails development https://pi-hole.net https://github.com/dokku/dokku
What you can do, which pi-hole does, is modify your local hosts file and redirect ad URLs to 0.0.0.0. I just set it up that way, just as simple if not easier.
I know, but Pi-hole keeps its lists up to date, which i'd have to do manually...
Also, i like its dashboards and stats :)

yes! I am also running this. The whole family keeps their stuff in my instance. I also keep my password database in it.
Do you expose it over the internet or access it through a VPN?
