A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

It's Sunday somewhere already so why wait?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I'll post my ongoing things later/tomorrow but I didn't want to forget the post again.

Looking for a self-hosted period tracking app with companion android app. Have done literally zero investigation at this point but it's on my todo.

I don’t have a technical issue at the moment.. financial one 🤣

I store my data on an OLD my book Live 3TB HDD. Runs fine but it’s getting full now, and the day it decides to shut down I don’t have any backups.

So I want to buy at least a 2 bays RAID1 array.

I’ll plug it on my server directly, and that would become my NAS.

Maybe two 6TB drives, so I’ll double my existing storage?

I've got a project to look forward to. Have my Proxmox server with a UPS, running NUT to watch the battery percentage and power down gracefully if the % gets too low. I have Home Assistant watching that so it's supposed to notify me before that happens. It's not notifying me though, so I gotta look into that. I know it's not working this morning because the power went out, so now I'm just sitting here theorizing instead of actually looking at it. 🙃

What exactly are you trying and on which operating system are you?

Had Jellyseer break on me again on Truenas scale, something about a jellyfin API blah blah blah. Decided that Sonarr and Radarr are fine enough to interface with that I don't need it and deleted the image.

Working on Smart Playlists for Pinepods I'm the developer of the self-hosted podcast management server and Sunday is always my new feature day. I've had a lot of fun adding in new features lately. Like designing a homepage and adding OIDC login support. Don't let anybody tell you auth isn't fun.

Oh wow, I hadn't known pinepods! I've been looking for a selfhosted podcast management thing for literal years and recently audiobookshelf popped up, but maybe I should check Pinepods instead! I don't have audiobooks anyways. Are there Android Apps that can be used as a frontend?

Btw, github links to https://pinepods.online/, but the website seems to be exclusively available on https://www.pinepods.online/.

Edit: Just found you release an Android app as well. I'll have a look!

I've been looking into airtable alternatives. Came across teable, which I liked, but it doesn't seem production ready. 🤔

Yeah, i did tbh. It's just that the SSO feature is behind the paywall. If it wasnt, i'd easily go with it.

Teable is promissing sso for the community users.

k. thanks. i see automations are enterprise features. so i think this will end up the same mess as nocodb. their business models are outdated.

I have yet again broke a Nextcloud server By trying to upgrade it (from 27 to 30) . Even after hours of debug i’ll have to remake it from scratch ….again

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I run it on BSD and just use the pkg and never have any trouble. Clients are all in the Tumbleweed repos so are the latest which I think helps. Update, run occ update and it always works fine.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah they fucked up v30, i updated from v29 a few weeks back and had to restore it and now I'm back at 29

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I guess updating it regularly in small steps really is the best working thing. Switched to nc-aio with Auto-Updates half a year ago and didn't have any troubles with updates since.

Well i guess my fondamental issue was to procrastinate

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Automate once and never rely on you not procrastinating again!

Crazy enough, I have everything going that I want to on my server!

  • *arr suite and jellyfin
  • traefik reverse proxy with crowdsec + bouncer for some sites (e.g. not documents or media)
  • paperless-ngx for documents
  • immich for photos
  • leantime to manage personal projects
  • Book stack for a personal wiki
  • calibre-web for my library
  • syncthing for file and music syncing so I don't have to stream music
  • valheim server for me and my friends
  • boinc for turning my server to a productive heater in the winter
  • home assistant for my in-renovation smart home

As far as my server goes, I have everything I need. Maybe setting up something for sharing files over the web if needed. I used nextcloud for that before it killed itself completely and I realized I never really needed it.

Next is working on my smart home because we had to fully strip the house to renovate. KNX first, zwave for things that KNX doesn't have or are crazy expensive, ESPHome for everything that the other two can't accomplish. Minimal 2.4GHz interference and don't have to rely as much as possible on flaky wireless in a brick house.
