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.

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!

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’ll give my recommendation to local LLMs as well. I have a 1060 super that I bought years ago in 2019 and it’s just big enough to do some very basic auto completion within visual studio. I love it. I wouldn’t trust it to write an entire program on its own, but when I have hit a mental block and need a rough estimate of how to use a library or how I can arrange some code, it gives me enough inspiration to get through that hump.

Concur. In particular models focused on image output.

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
Completely agree
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!
Are you my project manager??
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
To add to this, I host Confusion for image generation
- 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
You made me actually check out Immich and I love the tagging feature. That makes it feel much more like a photo library and less like just a giant file storage solution that happens to store photos.
Immich is really good actually. Completely replaced Google Photos for me.
Really interested in immich and archive box!
Check out linkwarden as well
Homeassistant is like shortcuts? You can have it do stuff if something else does something?
Among other things, yes.
- 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
- Vaultwarden
- etherpad
- Technitium DNS
- A NTP server
- Mesh Central
- A win11 VM with RDP
- paperless NGX
- calibre Web (or does that count as Media already)
- Agent DVR
- Spoolmann
- OrcaSlicer via Browser(linuxserver.io)
- Omada Controller
- 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
It sounds like it, but there are a few things I still need to do.
-
AMP Gamemanager to get better control of the servers for the kiddos
-
Codeproject AI for better image recognition with agent dvr
-
A proper voice AI setup with HA
-
I need to get my PBX setup going again
-
I will soon clean up my media and storage solution and move to TrueNAS
And I need to automate more. One day…
-
Can confirm you have a problem. I mean, you have two services to document your stuff.
Yeah, but Netbox is really really neat to document cabeling, IPAM, the rack and does asset management as well with a plugin.
But it’s really hard to document HOWTOs in it. And wiki.js is really a bad idea for the former.
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.

Web-accessible Emacs? What are you using?
You can use the Linuxserver.io VSCodium Image and replace VSCodium with Emacs in the Dockerfile.
Huh, what?
I see in your link that that image has support for KasmVNC, which is great and you could use to make Emacs work…
But the whole point of VS Code is that it can run in a browser and not use a remote desktop solution- which is always going to be a worse experience than a locally-rendered UI.
I kinda expect someone to package Emacs with a JS terminal, or with a browser-friendly frontend, but I’m always very surprised that this does not exist. (It would be pretty cool to have a Git forge that can spawn an Emacs with my configuration on a browser to edit a repository.)
Exactly, since KasmVNC can run GUI programs in the browser and the Linux server.io base image is just Debian, it was trivial to just run it with Emacs instead. I much prefer Emacs over VS Code because of Org Mode. While VS Code works well in a browser. It isn’t what I wanted.
Here is where I have posted my Emacs Dockerfile. It might be a little out of date. Emacs Docker
EDIT: The Dockerfile also installs the fonts I like for Emacs along with git and hunspell.
EDIT: You could also probably achieve something similar with a Docker container run ning Apache Guacamole.
I keep everything documented, along with my infrastructure as code stuff. Briefly:
- Nextcloud
- Vaultwarden
- Miniflux
- My blog
- Takahe (a multi-domain) ActivityPub server
- My health tracker CRUD data entry
- https://alexpdp7.github.io/selfhostwatch/
- Grafana (for health stats and monitoring data from Nagios)
- Nagios
- FreeIPA/Ipsilon (SSO)
edit: plus a few things that do not have a web UI.
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!
Lol, when I moved the most recent pihole version had just got released so I wanted to check it out. I have pihole service my IoT network and 3 adguard->unbound instances setup for my main network for fallbacks 🤣.
But yeah I hate ads/trackers with a burning passion as you can see hahaha
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

+1 For hass.
Baikal for calendar, todo and contact syncing
Forgejo for version control
Silverbullet for markdown notes
FreshRSS for aggregated news
Linkding for bookmarks
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.
I randomly think about something I want, and then usually find it here. Used to be a GitHub repo, but it got so popular and useful they got a nice site with search and all, now.
https://awesome-selfhosted.net/
I don’t have as much running anymore outside media/games, but I do still run Stirling PDF as an Acrobat Pro alternative.
- 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.
- Forgejo - git hosting
- actual budget - spending tracking mostly
- Vaultwarden
- home assistant - still configuring
All these. I just added calibre web and may phase out Kavita.
vaultwarden, ntfy
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.
Immich and Radicale definitely recommended. I’ve still got paperless-ng and plan to move to paperless-ngx as soon as I find the time. I’ve also got firefly-iii which is a big revolution to how I manage personal finance. Even my 17 old son has got into it … He couldn’t understand where all his hard earnings were going.
