Thinking of self-hosting some basic tools; SearxNG, Bitwarden, Lemmy.
What kind of tools are you self-hosting right now? Which ones are easy to manage, which ones are awkward? 👀
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I've never got what the point of Home Assistant is, seems to be it'll talk to a load of smart devices and advertises you can control it with Alexa but at what point why not just have Alexa itsself control the devices?
You can write custom automations between all your smart devices. So I can connect Home Assistant to my phone, a Google Home mini, and Google Translate TTS, so whenever I plug in my phone to charge at night while I'm at home, the speaker tells me "Remember to brush your teeth" in an Italian accent. Or whatever specific weird thing you want. It puts a lot more control in your hands.
