I'm late to the party but here's my list - cadvisor - simple graphs of resource consumption, insights per docker stack - cyberchef - a LOT of handy operations packed into one small app. Encode/decode any secrets you need and don't bother about privacy - dozzle - logs browser from all docker stacks - gogs - git mirror - heimdall - all apps main panel - minio - private S3 for my side projects - nextcloud - private goog…

Thanks for the info about photoprism. How does it handle videos, I have tonnes of home videos that I have no idea how to organise or manage.

It doesn't do well with them, basically it'll transcode everything so it's quicker to serve up, that's about it. Anybody use anything good to organize home videos?

We got here because OS vendors don't trust users to install software on their computer.

I doubt there will be a native GUI renaissance, look at the mac app store, it's not making a dent in the global direction and it's available since years. Ok it's only for a single platform, it's even worse on the windows app store! I think there is no way back for desktop apps. Browser is the best sandbox available.

Those 2 places aren't not the only places one gets software for either of those platforms, and are not really solid indicators of the popularity of desktop apps.

The Windows store especially isn't, because (as far as I understand) until somewhat recently, you were locked to only publishing UWP apps to it.

I REALLY want to start self-hosting but I can't afford a separate homeserver. I have a personal list of software to self-host and have looked into VPS providers like DO, Vultr, Linode & Hetzner. While they're cheap, should I really self-host on shared CPUs because that's all I can afford right now. My basic system would be Pi-Hole, Miniflux, Linkding. Maybe Bitwarden. What would be a good way to get started? Any sugg…

The main limiter to what you can host is RAM. RPI4s currently go for a premium. Additional they have hidden issues like being picky about power supplies. bottlenecked by IO via USB3 if you want an additional NIC and non-SD storage.

You would be better off with a like-new Dell Wyse 5070 off ebay for ~100 (and occasionally less if you're patient). Supports up to 32GB ram and an M.2 SATA slot.

You'll have much better IO, stability, and capacity compared to RPI4 for not much more cost. Power envelope of the system is pretty similar, the 5070 idles around 5W and loaded down it goes up to ~15W and is fanless which is in the neighborhood of the pi.

You can look at Oracle Cloud. They have a "free forever" plan that looks quite nice (4 ARM CPUs, 24 GB RAM and 200 GB storage).

Wow, what's the catch?

The "Always Free Tier" stuff will get shut down when the expanded free tier expires unless you have a credit card plugged in. You can turn it back on... They don't always take cards they should. So, navigating their always free tier is somewhat complicated.

Also, there is a LOT of resource congestion for the arm systems. Be prepared to try every day to fire up new instances for a couple of weeks until you can find free capacity.

Rather than exhaustively list mine, I'll just list the ones I don't see mentioned in other comments.

- Swag - Nginx reverse proxy for my other services. Similar to other reverse proxies people have mentioned, but it plays nice with other linuxserver containers I run so it's what I've stuck with. Has decent letsencrypt integration.

- Authelia - Integrated with Swag to handle single sign-on for most of my services

- Mylar3 - Helps keep track of comic series and, if you choose, can be used to search and download them as well

- Komga - For organizing/reading comics. I use Klutter as a companion app for reading comics from my Android devices

- readarr - Newer member of the *arr family. Still a bit clunky compared to its siblings, but it's a relatively useful way to organize ebooks and audiobooks. It doesn't do well with mixed book types, though, so I run one instance for ebooks and one for audiobooks.

- Ombi - For managing media requests

My main goal is to replace cloud services so I can be Google-free. I've also got LineageOS + MicroG on my phone. This is all running in docker containers on NixOS (other than OPNSense), with automated restic backups to a NAS as well as Backblaze. One of my goals is to be able to deploy all this again from scratch with minimal effort, and I think I succeeded, though haven't had to test it yet. Nextcloud - for caldav a…

How much time do you spend maintaining this stuff every month? Like upgrading versions, etc.? Do you subscribe to any security channels? Do you care what language it's built in, try to keep it all on a few languages to minimize maintenance burden, etc.? I've been considering self-hosting, but put off thus far by the above concerns.

Over time I've tried to whittle down my homelab and move more of it to Microsoft 365/Google Suite/iTunes Store with mixed results. Currently my must haves are: * Router - pfSense - https://www.pfsense.org/ * Movies/TV/Home Videos - Plex * Minecraft Server - AMP - https://cubecoders.com/AMPInstall * Music - Roon - https://roonlabs.com/ * Automation - HomeAssistant - https://www.home-assistant.io/ * Unifi Controller *…

Something to be aware of w/r/t pfSense: https://opnsense.org/opnsense-com/

I only just migrated to OPNSense from pfSense. I feel cleaner. It was a relatively smooth and painless migration.

"webpad paste" it's a rest-url giant text pad I use to keep notes across devices I have an actual app too that's also a note taking app (use it everyday) basic React/Electron thing with Express backend my goal is centralizing my own info

I use noteself for this, which is an extension of tiddlywiki using an in-browser pouchdb back-end. This can then be sync'd to a couchdb instance, which can be self-hosted - which is what I do.

It's perfect for my needs, I need to work out setting up separate databases for separate note purposes (keeping personal and work separate). I find tiddlywiki / noteself's structure perfect for the various streams required for the management of projects.
