This is a cool list, I hadn't heard of most of these.

Here are mine:

- Nextcloud - files, calendar, todo, contacts syncing

- Tiny Tiny RSS - RSS reader

- Wallabag - read it later, also a database of interesting things I've read so I can recall later

- Photoprism - photo organizing/tagging

- CheckMK - monitoring

- The Lounge - IRC client that connects to my ZNC bouncer

- Plex - media streaming

- Airsonic - music streaming (since Plex sucks at that)

- Gitea - git repos/issues

- Code-Server - VSC instance hosted in the browser

I have a _terrible_ memory and am constantly forgetting things about friends I have known for almost a decade. I host this in a container that I am likely going to move to a RPi: https://github.com/monicahq/monica

I never could get this to work and play nicely with my traefik setup. :-/

> a 45 Drives unraid server You run this at home? How’s your power bill? And why so many drives?

Actually not bad. I’m Not sure of the actual power draw but it can’t be too bad. Has just a single Corsair 650 watt psu. But the server also has two xeons so I’m probably at least 400 watts.

Oowhee that’s a lot of power. My “server” idles at 50W and it’s already costing me about 10$/month in electricity.

The plex native mobile app is pretty awful for music streaming, however "PlexAmp" available on Android and iOS is absolutely fantastic, barring a couple of minor points.

1) Requires PlexPass (iirc), 2) Makes you pick a library rather than searching/playing from all. Switching libraries is extremely quick and simple though.

My own timeline thing.

It hosts all of my data plus my personal diary. I update it at least once a day. My photos, backups and geolocation are automatically uploaded to it.

My home server gets a lot of use too. It's mostly my own code, plus Transmission.

I also have a few lines of code that take my browser's search queries and routes them according to keywords. Browsers do this natively now, but old habits die hard. Every search query goes through it.

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…

Looks sweet. Is your nixos configuration public? I've been looking for a good example setup for running a bunch of containers like this.

Huh, that's a pretty great idea/workflow! I'm still figuring out HA's scripting. I find the JSON based DSL to be pretty awkward so far, so I haven't experimented with it much.

I felt that way too and didn’t like the point and click interface of nodered. Instead, I’m using appdaemon which lets me write all automations using actual code (python) along with the VSCode plugin for HASSOS (not my editor of choice but it’s the only available one)

That's awesome thanks, I didn't know about this:

The one thing keeping me from moving to Caddy, and maybe it's a user error, is that I can't figure out how to request a wildcard cert once and use it in multiple places. I have several subdomains that are not exposed to the internet and so without a wildcard I wouldn't be able to get an SSL certificate for them.

We have a section for exactly this in our docs: https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/patterns#wildcard-cer... Hope that helps!

That sure does, I'll give it a try soon. Thank you!
