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.

I'm already hosting pihole, but i know there's so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks all! I've got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!

Portainer - For docker containers.

AdGuard Home on 2 separate Raspberry Pi Pico W.

HomeAssistant on its own hardware. Home automation

SearXNG - private search.

Whoogle - private search.

Shaarli - Bookmarks.

youtube-dl - downloading videos.

PaperlessNGX - document storage.

Trilium Notes - notes app

These are the ones I can't live without. All docker containers running on a NAS.

Why do you need to host 2 search engines?

[–] matejc@matejc.com 7 points 1 year ago

Indeed, well:

  • SearxNG is a meta search engine, can aggregate search results from a ton of other search engines (like DDG, Google, Bing, .... and a lot more)
  • Whoogle, looks like a proxy to Google

First time seeing shaarli, looks similar to Linkding —something I use all the time!

[–] brad@toad.work 1 points 1 year ago

Can vouch for shaarli. I use it every single day of my life

You mean Raspberry Pi Zero W, right?

[–] thanatos@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I did, was in a rush while posting.

[–] thanatos@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Just personal choice, both are similar.

Does PaperlessNGX have an android app?

[–] coltzero@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, it's even good

[–] thanatos@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

There are 2 3rd party apps on fdroid

Damn, I had no idea. I've been emailing stuff to myself and having it check my email to handle uploads from my phone. Cheers :D

Why do you need to host youtube-dl?

[–] einsteinx2@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I guess it’s not so much “hosting” as having it on your home NAS with some scripts to backups channels and videos that you like. At least that’s what I do.

Thought I should make a point to mention youtube-dl is dead, yt-dlp is the replacement and it works great. Even has a command line flag to make its options work the same as the options in youtube-dl so it can be a drop in replacement for existing scripts.

[–] thanatos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I actually use YoutubeDL-Material Has a web interface as the wife is computer illiterate.

[–] einsteinx2@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Sweet I’m gonna check this out! So far I’ve been doing everything from ssh terminals on my phone/laptop using some bash aliases/functions I wrote to simplify some stuff like downloading whole channels based on a json config file, downloading videos using my preferred flags, etc. I was planning to eventually build something around it, but if this meets my needs or I can modify it to do so, it would save a bunch of time.

[–] thanatos@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I have multiple desktops and laptops, multiple phones and I travel a lot. So rather than having everything copied to each device, the videos are in one place accessible from any device.
