I’d probably have to go with Audiobookshelf and Kavita. Behind those would be Invidous and Immich.
Jellyfin: An unfederated alternative to Plex, with some pros and cons. Very lightweight, customizable with plugins. Decent iOS and tvOS client from the devs.
Vaultwarden: Unofficial open-source fork of Bitwarden.
FreshRSS: Self hosted RSS + Atom reader, honestly the best way to read news ad free. I recommend using FreshRSS with lire if you’re on iOS.
I’m definitely looking into hosting PiHole down the line, and hopefully nextcloud once i get some more drives
There are multiple ways to evaluate usage. I’ll go with what I would guess is your desired measurement, things that I use intentionally (as opposed to things like dns, which just happen incidentally to other things or automation based things which are continuously running but not necessarily interacted with):
- Mastodon
- An app I’ve written to collect personal data
- Jellyfin
- Lemmy
- Bitwarden (I pay to self-host as opposed to vaultwarden as the latter probably won’t have a security audit)
- Freshrss
- Linkding
- Gitea
- Archivebox
- Mailcow
- DNS server, because everything depends on it
- The Lounge - got like 7 people using it basically daily to chat
- Lemmy, even though I’m the only one really actively using it.
- E-Mail server, I don’t get a whole lot of mail but it’s a pretty important one!
Everything else tends to be a lot more idle, but I’ve also got NextCloud, an IRC server, soon a Matrix server, an internal VPN so all my devices can always talk to eachother no matter where they are.
You’re self-hosting your email? Masochist.
Plex, PiHole, Photoprism, Home Assistant, Syncthing in a hub and spoke config, Caddy for reverse proxy, custom containers for: yt-dlp, restic, and rsync.
Could you elaborate on syncthing hub and spoke?
Yeah I saw a post about it a long time ago on Reddit for users with lots of devices
Basically it is just setting up one or two “central devices” that know all the client devices, but not linking the client devices individually.
IE: One server is connected to your phone, laptop, tablet, desktop, etc. But the phone is not directly connected to your laptop or desktop or tablet.
To be fair I don’t actually know if this is the best approach anymore or if just connecting all of them in a mesh is better 🤷
Here is a forum post describing it.
