Ask HN: Which self-hosted solutions are you using?

I came across Perkeep[1] project today. I know some other self-hosted solutions like Rocket chat[2](Slack alternative), Redmine[3](Project management) etc. Curious what other self-hosted are there and which one you are using?

I can't really see what perkeep is or does form the cursoray look. As far as self hosted goes, I do everything. Nextcloud, wekan, confluence, iredmail, web host, /nginx, Hugo, openeats, suricata, etc... If I can't self host it, it's not a contender for me. Anything I want to use, I need to be able to control and host. I don't have a rocket chat, but I do participate in a trusted version that I know the other party self hosts. I want to try out mastodon, slag hosted as well. So many great options out there, I can't ever see myself not using a self hosted version. I did give redmine a try but I'm just not a ruby guy.

We run the Atlassian products Jira, Confluence and Crucible and soon Bitbucket on premise. Gitlab is not an option because our main repository is a relatively big Mercurial repository. There's also a couple of Jenkins servers.

Most of the on premise IT, with the exception of the Jenkins servers, are managed by a local devops company.

We are a small company with 7 employees.

I've been trying out fossil[1] for some small personal projects, it's a DVCS based on SQLite (from the same author, drh) and includes a wiki and issue tracking.

I think I might even be starting to prefer it to git/git(lab|hub).

Phabricator (tasks, wiki, and code review), Gitolite (actual repositories), Mattermost (chat), Jenkins (CI).

I use wallabag to keep track of things I want to go back to read when I have time. Keeping open tabs wasn't cutting it.

It's not always perfect but after I set it up it has just kept running. Browser add-on and phone app work decently.

I use Metabase for querying our SQL database. I love how easy it is to ask questions of our data. I use it a couple of times per day.

It's free, and by self-hosting it I can keep our firewall rules locked down on the DB.

I have used Fossil for years for absolutely everything which needs - or might potentially one day benefit from having had - any kind of versioning. Clear, concise, lightweight, minimalist, utterly brilliant tool from tthe utterly brilliant D. Richard Hipp. To my ongoing astonishment, many accomplished people have never even heard of it.
