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.

- 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.
You have all the solutions lol
Can confirm you have a problem. I mean, you have two services to document your stuff.
Is Univention essentially just an LDAP server?
No,more like an “AD” replacement. Does a lot of things(DNS,DHCP,some Apps),always depends on what one needs.
- 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
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
I think most people on here are reasonable, and I think local LLMs are reasonable.
The race to AGI and companies trying to shove “AI” into everything is kind of insane, but it’s hard to deny LLMs are useful and running them locally you dont have privacy concerns.
Interesting, this has not been my experience. Most people on here seem to treat AI as completely black and white, with zero shades of grey.
I see a mix, don’t get me wrong, Lemmy is definitely opinionated lol, but I don’t think it’s quite black and white.
Also, generally, I’m not going to not share my thoughts or opinions because I’m afraid of people that don’t understand nuance, sometimes I don’t feel like dealing with it, but I’m going to share my opinion most of the time.
OP asked what you self host that isn’t media, self hosted LLMs is something I find very useful and I didn’t see mentioned. Home assistant, pihole, etc, all great answers… But those were already mentioned.
I still have positive upvotes on that comment, and no one has flamed me yet, but we will see.
I think looking through the comments on this post about AI stuff is a pretty good representation of my experience on lemmy. Definitely some opinions, but most people are pretty reasonable 🙂
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.
Nor will they get the workload of 6 people. They might for a couple of months, but at some point the KPI’s will suddenly say that it’s possible to squeeze out the workload of 2 more people. With maybe even 1 worker less!
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
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.
ever wish you could listen to an Audio book and read an ebook at the same time.
Lol no? Absolutely not.
I don’t mean actively reading and listening to the audio book, think of it like English subtitles for a English movie. You can ignore them for the most part, until you hear something you didn’t quiet catch or you were not paying attention and missed something, it’s much easier to scroll back a little and read the text to catch up rather than play the part again. Happens a lot for me when listening to audio books. And rewinding the book to catch up on the part I missed is annoying, it’s better to just quickly read the last few lines instead.
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.
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.
Check out Tailscale. It uses Wireguard under the hood, but it’s magic.
Wireguard is quite magic itself
God stop pushing tailscale. It’s just abstraction on top of wireguard. Those of us who knows how VPNs work don’t want a third party involved in our routing.
- Forgejo - git hosting
- actual budget - spending tracking mostly
- Vaultwarden
- home assistant - still configuring
There is a pinned post for this https://lemmy.world/post/60585
Depends on what you consider self-hosted. Web applications I use over LAN include Home Assistant, NextRSS, Syncthing, cockpit-machines (VM host), and media stuff (Jellyfin, Kavita, etc). Without web UI, I also run servers for NFS, SMB, and Joplin sync. Nothing but a Wireguard VPN is public-facing; I generally only use it for SSH and file transfer but can access anything else through it.
I’ve had NextCloud running for a year or two but honestly don’t see much point and will probably uninstall it.
I’ve been planning to someday also try out Immich (photo sync), Radicale (calendar), ntfy.sh, paperless-ngx, ArchiveBox (web archive), Tube Archivist (YouTube archive), and Frigate NVR.

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.
- Gitlab (version control)
- Bookstack (wiki)
- Joplin (not a webapp, but sync server)
- Semaphore (does all of my infra updating via Ansible)
- Uptime-Kuma (monitoring/alerting)
Been thinking about adding NextCloud mostly for the Google Docs/MS Office replacement at some point.
But honestly most of my stuff is just for me, my family prefers to to use whatever commercial thing is out there. So I tend to limit things to infrastructure type things that are of personal interest to me alone.
Gitlab
This guy has a lot of memory in his server
It is allotted 16GB out of the 62GB total that the host has. Which is the amount their docs call for in a 20 RPS or 1000 user scenario. Since I am the only one doing any commits or pulls, it does fine.
Does take its sweet time to reboot though. 😆
Wow, I would never considering allocating so much memory to a single service I run at home.
- ActualBudget for finances.
- Radicale for calendar/contacts.
- Immich for photos/videos.
- Redlib as a frontend for Reddit (LibRedirect ftw).
- TheLounge as an IRC client.
- Bitwarden/Vaultwarden as a password manager.
- paperless-ngx for documents
- Calibreweb
- FreshRSS
- Grampsweb
- Emacs
- Gitea
- Stirling-PDF
- Vaultwarden
- Pihole
- Pyload
- Glances
- Syncthing
- Homepage
- Karakeep
I don’t often need to mess with PDFs but man StirlingPDF is just fantastic on the odd occasion that I do.
Also, curious - what do you use a download manager like PyLoad for? I’ve seen stuff like this but never found a use case.
Headscale
Matrix server (conduwuit, soon to be tuwunel)
Matrix bridges (slack, discord, whatsapp)
Adguard
Pihole
Findmydevice
Redlib
Linkwarden
Forgejo
Ntfy
Molly socket
Home assistant
Uptime Kuma
There’s probably more that I’m forgetting lol
Adguard
Pihole
More adblockers for the ad-blocking god!
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
Calendar and contacts (i.e. CalDAV/CardDAV). A blog. Media is just remote-mounted since all my systems are Linux.
I’m always leery of “one app for all” solutions, or in German, “eierlegende Wollmilchsau”.
Hence, no Nextcloud for me.
Which Calendar software do you use?
Glad you asked. I left that open on purpose because my server probably got hacked and I have only just reinstalled. So far I’ve been using DaviCAL - for many years - but I’ll revise this choice. It’s a little dated and quirky, and so ist PostgreSQL which it depends on.
Currently working to move away from Nextcloud myself, it’s PHP nature causes IO storms when it tries to check if it needs to reload any code for incoming requests.
You can optimize php a lot for performance. See my config https://gitlab.melroy.org/-/snippets/91
Eh, my Nextcloud LXC container idles at less than 4.5% CPU usage (“max over the week” from Proxmox). I use PostgreSQL as the backend on a separate LXC container that has some peaks of 9% CPU usage, but is normally at 5% too.
I only have two users, though. But both containers have barely IO activity.
