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

Thank you for not just listing the names of some software. Everyone else in this thread is like "Crimble, JFlax, pIcomIco, Flerbl, and 17 Orangutans."

[-] Wats0ns@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I usually just ask recruiters to point those that are pokemon

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

17 Orangutans isn't software, it's just a bunch of apes I'm hosting in my basement server room. I trained one to answer level 1 trouble tickets, but manager said we need highly available maintenance processes. So, I got another container and put an orangutan inside it, and kept doing that until either we hit our KPI or we exhausted the budget.

Literally a coding monkey

In terms of what services do the most:

In terms of user activity:

[-] Difficult_Bit_1339@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

pihole, wireguard, qbittorrent, sonarr/radarr, Jellyfin, syncthing, NFS.

I've considered Airsonic but I haven't found a good client that looks good and doesn't behave weirdly. I had one launch about 500 threads trying to transcode the same song which ate up my CPU time on my server resulting in a stern e-mailing from my host.

[-] gts@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

vaultwarden

[-] Coud@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

navidrome and jellyfin

[-] SymbolicLink@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Plex, PiHole, Photoprism, Home Assistant, Syncthing in a hub and spoke config, Caddy for reverse proxy, custom containers for: yt-dlp, restic, and rsync.

[-] pim@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Could you elaborate on syncthing hub and spoke?

[-] SymbolicLink@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] btobolaski@threads.ruin.io 1 points 1 year ago

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):

  1. Mastodon
  2. An app I’ve written to collect personal data
  3. Jellyfin
  4. Lemmy
  5. Bitwarden (I pay to self-host as opposed to vaultwarden as the latter probably won’t have a security audit)
  6. Freshrss
  7. Linkding
  8. Gitea
  9. Archivebox
  10. Mailcow
[-] akoen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Paperless-ngx is better than any hosted equivalent.

[-] Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me 0 points 1 year ago
  1. DNS server, because everything depends on it
  2. The Lounge - got like 7 people using it basically daily to chat
  3. Lemmy, even though I'm the only one really actively using it.
  4. 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.

[-] shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol 4 points 1 year ago

You're self-hosting your email? Masochist.

[-] Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me 0 points 1 year ago

It's been set up for almost a decade at this point, it's shockingly low maintenance once it's all set up and going. It is a pain to figure out Postfix's and Dovecot's fairly arcane configuration files, but smooth sailing afterwards. It's been a long time since I've even got a mail rejected/not make it to the recipient's inbox.

[-] Elw@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

100%. I’ve been running my own mail server for 10-15 years now and you’re spot on. I’ve wanted to migrate it to a more modern platform but I’m loath to relive the process of configuring postfix and dovecot. DKIM/SPF and Let’s Encrypt certs for IMAPS were also a bit of a headache to get sorted, and warming up the sending IP so gmail would stop sending me to spam… but once that’s all sorted it’s been very very hands off. I log in once in a blue moon to update it but otherwise it just sits and does it’s thing.

[-] innercitadel@lemmy.nz 0 points 1 year ago

I self host one of my emails on my VPS. I can't even remember the software I used it's been that long. One issue I have is spam. Have you found any way of controlling that?

[-] Elw@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

I have my mail server set up as a catch all so you can send to anything at my domain and it’ll land in my inbox. I use this to create usage specific addresses. If it’s something I know will produce spam, I just dev null anything going to that address. I can then also track where a spam source originated. For friends and family who email me regularly; they also know to append the current year to my email address, this allows me to rotate my email address every year.

I also run spam assassin and implement greylisting as well as blocking IP ranges from countries I know I’ll never receive legitimate mail from… it’s been an evolution.

[-] innercitadel@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oh wow that catch all thing sounds like a really handy alternative to disposable emails. Thank you! I will also look into spam assassin. Logged into my VPS to remember what software I'm using - dovecot and postfix.

EDIT: installed and configured SpamAssassin. Thank you, that was easy!

[-] Elw@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

I also can't recommend greylisting enough. If you haven't already enabled it in postfix I strongly suggest doing so. It's one of the easiest ways to reduce spam. By simply bouncing emails from new sources the first time and forcing them to retry, it cut my spam tremedously.

[-] raphael@lemmy.mararead.com 0 points 1 year ago

ntfy and FreshRSS for me. Audiobookshelf recently joined and I am using it daily. (Inofficial probably the Arr stack though 😅)

[-] FermatsLastAccount@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Inofficial probably the Arr stack though

I've been wanting to set up Readarr, but I feel like it's one of those things that can be pretty annoying to do with Docker because of the volumes.

[-] ryphez@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Readarr is still just not good enough compared to the others. I ended up spinning 1 for ebooks and 1 for audiobooks to help make it less frustrating

[-] BenGFHC@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Do you know if it's any good at finding audiobooks on public sites?

[-] ryphez@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I had to manually use audiobook bay as I couldn’t get it to work. Myanonymouse is amazing and pretty easy to get into

[-] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

I liked Audiobookshelf but the RSS feed kept breaking for me. I’d pull new podcast episodes for several days then it would fail and I’d have to recreate the feed. I wonder if they’ve fixed that yet.

[-] raphael@lemmy.mararead.com 1 points 1 year ago

Never noticed anything in the last couple of weeks. I had one podcast missing new episodes because the schedule was turned off. But I might not have had it turned on in the first place.

[-] UnrealRealityX@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

FreshRSS: RSS reader (TinyTTS is also decent, but the developer is kind of a richard)

Kanboard: For keeping track of all my client projects (though you can use it for any sort of project tracking)

Nextcloud: It's pretty full featured, but I only really use it for shared calendars and contacts so that I'm not hosting on Microsoft or Google.

[-] lnxtx@feddit.nl 0 points 1 year ago

Could you tell more about the developer of Tiny Tiny RSS?

I'm using this apps for years, never heard about the problems with development.

[-] UnrealRealityX@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

If you take a look at his forums, you'll see when people request features, or just ask how to set something up, his responses are usually demeaning or meant to put the person down. And a bunch of users there defend or support it. It just leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

I dunno, it might have changed recently, but I doubt it. The app itself, if you ignore the forums is pretty solid. But it was enough to look for another dev, and the one who does FreshRSS is pretty cool, and the posts just seem to load faster through FeedMe (android app)

[-] gobbling871@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Jellyfin, AdGuard Home, Nextcloud, Syncthing, Invidious, SearxNG
