Since selfhosted clouds seem to be the most common thing ppl host, i’m wondering what else ppl here are selfhosting. Is anyone making use of something like excalidraw in the workplace? Curious about what apps that would be useful to always access over the web that aren’t mediaservers.
Mumble and Wireguard
Some of my friends are heading back to mumble because discord is getting too bloated with useless features.
Wireguard is to be able to access my local network when I am away.
Check out Tailscale. It uses Wireguard under the hood, but it’s magic.
Wireguard is quite magic itself
I hear about people wanting alternatives to discord though I never got into using it too much personally, but does anyone know about whether or not Revolt chat is a good open-source self-hostable solution?
I’ve been testing MatterMost for a few days.
It’s closer to Slack than Discord but has most of the same features.
- Matrix server
- Element web GUI
- NocoDB for various Mini databases and forms
- Joplin server
- KanBan Board
- Mealie to store recipes
- Grocy as a home ERP
- Grafana for various metrics
- Home Assistant
- NodeRed(non HA, different node)
- InfluxDB
- Zabbix for monitoring

- Univention to bring everything together
- netbox to document half of the shit
- wiki.js to document the other half
Honestly,I think I have a problem.
Can confirm you have a problem. I mean, you have two services to document your stuff.
You have all the solutions lol
There is a pinned post for this https://lemmy.world/post/60585
Storyteller, ever wish you could listen to an Audio book and read an ebook at the same time.
Storyteller can combine an Audio book and and ebook to create a single ebook that can be read like a normal ebook or you can listen to it and watch the actively spoken sentences highlighted in real time like a karaoke song lyrics.
Local LLMs, I’m surprised no one brought that up yet. I’ve got an old GPU in my server, and I’m running some local models with openweb-ui for use in the browser and Maid for an Android app to connect to it.
You’re a brave one admitting that on here. Don’t you know LLM’s are pure evil? You might as well be torturing children!
The tech itself is great.
But:
- Businesses push that shit where it doesn’t belong
- Businesses replacing people by AI when it is objectively worst, to make a buck
- Business stealing the work of million of people to train their model
Ais fine as a tool, trying to replace workers and artists while blatantly ripping stuff off is annoying, it can be a timesaver or just helpful for searching through your own docs/files
If you agree it’s a time saver, then you agree it makes workers more efficient. You now have a team of 5 doing the work of a team of 6. From a business perspective it’s idiotic to have more people than you need to, so someone would be let go from that team.
I personally don’t see any issue with this, as it’s been happening for the existence of humanity.
Tools are constantly improving that make us more efficient.
Most of people’s issue with AI is more an issue with greedy humans, and not the technology itself. Lord knows that new team of 5 is not getting the collective pay as the previous team of 6.
more work can get done and more work can be show in progress, its like a marginal timesaver, itll knock off 25% of a human maybe if that, not replace a whole one
If everyone on your team of 6 is 20% faster, you don’t necessarily need the 6th person. Maybe you put that towards more work, but that’s not very American, these days. Cut costs, cash out, fuck 'em
- Immich backs up photos from my phone and camera with tagging and search
- Archivebox is like a personal internet archive, I use it to save youtube videos and important memes
- Homeassistant does home automation stuff, currently I only use it to turn the speakers on/off with the tv
- Forgejo is a git host like Github, and can regularly pull external repositories to keep a personal mirror
- Actual budget is a budgeting app, nice for tracking expenses across multiple accounts
>no media servers
>mentions immich as the first one
As a backup :p
- Forgejo - git hosting
- actual budget - spending tracking mostly
- Vaultwarden
- home assistant - still configuring
I self-host web apps I write myself? ¯\(ツ)/¯
I’m just starting to get into this myself. I made one so my family can easily check the status of my media server and send a movie, show, or music request to sonarr, radarr, and soularr(WIP) so they don’t have to bug me when they want something and it also helps them to feel they have more agency in the process. It’s pretty useful for me as well to be able to easily download things instead on the go instead of keeping a neverending list.
What kind of apps do you write?
Set up Overseerr.
I don’t see how that’s easier or better, but feel free to change my mind. As it is now no one needs to download a separate app or have multiple logins. They just go to the URL and there’s the status and a form to type in what they want the arrs to start searching for.
It’s like the difference between using Plex and a file browser to find a movie/show to watch.
Not really? To the ADHD mind trying to keep the one piece of media you’re looking for at the top of your mind while you load an app full of suggestions for other shows and movies is a nightmare, and it’s not any more convenient because you’re still going to end up searching for the media you want. The only added convenience is when you’re not looking for anything in particular and just want to see what’s out there and there’s a million better ways to do that. Factor in having to instruct everyone to download the app and create an account rather than just go to a URL you can access from any device anywhere and put in your show/movie/song and in a few minutes you have it. Overseerr doesn’t monitor my services either, or whatever else I want to do. It’s MUCH easier to maintain and more convenient for everyone. And does Overseerr even interact with Soularr or readarr? The functionality of my webapp scales exponentially, I’m not tied to what the developers of Overseerr deem functional.

You don’t have to download an app for Overseerr to add things. It’s just a URL you can access from any device anywhere (assuming you’ve got a domain etc like you must for your web app) and put in your show/movie and in a few minutes you have it.
Overseerr doesn’t monitor my services either, or whatever else I want to do.
It does when you set it up.
No skin off my back, don’t use it for all I care - I was just pointing out that a fantastic ready made service already exists for that.
Ah, no I appreciate the back and forth. I was looking into Overseerr once upon a time, but my Plex server is running in a Windows VM and I didn’t want to mess with Windows Docker. A python script and a few HTML files seemed much easier at the time and got the desired result. I am eventually planning to migrate the server to Linux, but haven’t had the time and energy and would have to literally schedule the downtime with my family. It still doesn’t look like Overseerr integrates with Soularr or Readarr but I’ve made a note to play around a bit with it in the future.

There’s probably more that I’m forgetting lol
You can selfhost find my device? Do you have a link to that project?
Yep you can self-host findmydevice anywhere. Personally, I deployed it on fly.io as I don’t expose my local network to the internet for security reasons
