Photostructure, Actual, Tandoor Recipes, and a load of media stuff. If anyone is interested in home hosting, but not sure where to start, we’re trying to make it easy with custom hardware https://pibox.io ! I maintain a ton of Kubernetes templates for various self hosted apps as well!

I ordered a pibox in February. When are they shipping?

Docker and Tailscale are all you need. I have all my services in single docker-compose yaml.

What's the value of Tailscale in a home network with self-hosted apps?

being able to have a consistent name for your server instead of using an ip address such as "192.168.1.23:4567", which would change often if you didn't set up a static ip.

once you bookmark "devicename:4567" or reference it in some other app, you won't have to change it again.

and of course having outside access to your devices when you are away is a nice plus as well

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…

what docker registry UI do you use? (afaik the official registry image doesn't have a web ui?)

How is your minio setup working for you? I'd heard some bad reviews early on and stayed away from it. Do you run it in any high-availability mode? Have you tested backups/restores? Would like to hear anything you'd like to share about it.

Not the OP but I run a Minio instance in my homelab. It's not in HA-mode but is on a VM that is replicated across my 3 proxmox nodes. I just use a simple docker-compose file (17 lines) and haven't run into any issues yet.

Very neat! If you lose a node, are you guaranteed to be able to recover from the other two? Are those VMs running on the same host?

I don't self host anything. Does that make me weird? Also I dislike sites that require JavaScript to display text and images.

same. I did in the past, but work has basically made me hate computers, so I've done everything I can to remove computers from my life outside work hours.

I host most of my stuff on ESXi VMs, mostly Fedora. Local Video/Music: mythtv with fanless minipc for front end. email: (sendmail/spamassassin/dovecot with Thunderbird front end) sharing/collaboration: Nextcloud Chat: Matrix/Synapse with Element web for the past year or so, Openfire (XMPP) for at least a decade. Ad block: pi-hole DNS: local recursive resolver (BIND) spell/usage check: langtool (minimal usage, but int…

I've been wanting to self-host a podcast service. This might be a really stupid question, but how do you download the podcasts to your server? I'm guessing it's like an RSS thing, but how do you the feeds?

Been building a service to cloud host (typically self-hosted) applications and make them a bit more accessible: https://www.pikapods.com/

Most popular apps are: WordPress, Filerun, Nextcloud, Uptime Kuma, Umami and PhotoPrism.

This would be for anyone lacking time or sysadmin skill to run this as hobby. I'm also working on a sponsorship or revenue sharing schema to get some financing back to FOSS authors. Since you're already paying for something there is less friction than actively donating to each project.

Asking for advice:(to HN of all places but eh...)

I know nothing about docker. I have a handful of VMs(Jitsi, pfsense,VPN). Want to be able to set up useful self-hosted services at home without killing my family downtime.

My current plan: yunohost https://yunohost.org/ and a RPi4 to see the possibilities. Then if I see a rock solid requirement maybe go for something more specific. (NixOS config seems interesting...)

Seem fair?

Listing the docker images. All this is hosted on a 45 Drives unraid server. adguard/adguardhome - Blocks ads on devices that don't support ad block extensions charlocharlie/epicgames-freegames - Bot that will automatically "purchase" free games from the epic game store.

Since you asked; My most used is ntfy [1] - It provides push notifications for pretty much anything and everything and can be easily integrated. It's used by a ton of selfhosters already, and I'm trying to make it better every day. (Disclaimer: I wrote it.) [1] https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy

This looks awesome.
