Selfhosted

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.

Looks breddy gucci


holy mother of pimples, 39% blocked sites on your pihole? Where is it being used, on your phone?

Is that a lot? It's usually between 30-50%. I've set it up as my routers DNS server so it blocks ads across my entire network. Everything that connects to my router get pihole ad blocking

Is that a lot?

It definitely is -- considering that my rpi 4 with pihole has an average of 10% to 15%.

A friend of mine has something like 64% blocked. That’s what blocking telemetry does to ya! Every piece of tech, especially Samsung phones, Google TVs and various game clients phones home with such persistence that you’d think they’re DDoSing themselves.

Wish I had the time/energy to host this much... Currently I'm running

  • Plex
  • Nextcloud (snap on ubuntu VM because its easy)
  • pihole
  • pivpn

I'm also running Jellyfin and Navidrome, in an attempt to determine if they are good alternatives to Plex for like 6 months at this point. See comments above about time/energy.

Personal preference: Jellyfin instead of plex

Some that I run that you don't seem to have anything for:

  • Lancache (if you have several gaming PCs on the network or host any kind of lan party)
  • surveillance camera software e.g. shinobi
  • I see grafana, but other monitoring services like icinga, librenms, etc
  • Mayan EDMS - I've found this really helpful as anything I get in the mail, I scan in, and this makes it all searchable and retrievable.
  • There's a whole hole you could dig if you start getting into home automation (I use home assistant)
