I've been hosting the Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr/Prowlarr stack, Plex, HomeAssistant and a Misskey server and a Matrix server for close friends. I had considered Bitwarden too, but at $10/year I'd rather just pay to have it hosted reliably, while I self-host things that don't outright make it hard for me to do stuff if they happen to go down.

I just was introduced to Tdarr the other day, and it is a great addition to the *rr stack. It does a great job in optimizing media files based on what you value (size, bitrate, container, etc)

I'm aiming for moderate bitrate, 1080p, hvec containers. In running through 900 of the 5000 media files I've already saved 3.4TB of storage space.

I've been hosting a fork of Tiny Tiny RSS[0] since 2005. Moving it between servers and Postgres instances has been easy and I like having the old data in perpetuity. [0] https://tt-rss.org/

How common is it for websites to have RSS feeds, anymore?

Quite common. However the Docker Blog recently changed their site to not have it so buh bye to them I guess.

Quite common, most things that I try to subscribe to have a feed, including mainstream stuff like NYT, Axios, FiveThirtyEight, and smaller independent blogs. When one doesn't exist you can often use a Twitter feed instead (for the moment), but I've only had to resort to that once or twice.

I've been putting more and more onto my Synology by using the existing packages that are provided. I used to lean very heavily on SaaS services but the pendulum swung and the cost and bloat have pushed me to just have some basic capabilities that don't change.

Audio Station - to listen to my mp3 collection Synology Photos - replaced Google Photos Plex - to access home photo/video library on our TV

Oh just my kind of topic.

- SearX, a selfhosted metasearch engine. Has almost entirely replaced Google search for me.

- Gitlab, hosts my projects where I collaborate with some friends. Pretty resource intensive.

- Invidious, alternate Youtube frontend

- Nextcloud, syncs my contacts + calender aswell as notes with my phone, password manager, file sharing with family/friends

- Mail, ol' reliable: postfix + dovecot

FWIW, BitWarden syncs your passwords locally. The only time you would run into issues is if you need to access using a new device, or a new password that you haven't synced (ex signed up today but haven't used the BitWarden app). The only scenario self hosting BitWarden is a problem is if I am away, there has been a power outage at my house and nobody I can ask to switch on the server, and I have misplaced my phone a…

My SATA controller died once in my server so I got to test my disaster recovery (I backup databases and some Docker volumes nightly offsite with Duplicati). Got Vaultwarden and Mariadb back up on a cheap VPS from a database dump in no time.

I run everything on a single computer powered by docker. Every self-hosted project has a dedicated docker-compose.yaml startup file. The services that run:

- Navidrome - PhotoPrism - Shiori - Paperless-ngx - Callibre-Web - Audiobookshelf - Jellyfin - Syncthing
