What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers? (lemm.ee)

Since selfhosted clouds seem to be the most common thing ppl host, i'm wondering what else ppl here are selfhosting. Is anyone making use of something like excalidraw in the workplace? Curious about what apps that would be useful to always access over the web that aren't mediaservers.

Matrix server
Element web GUI
NocoDB for various Mini databases and forms
Joplin server
KanBan Board
Mealie to store recipes
Grocy as a home ERP
Grafana for various metrics
Home Assistant
NodeRed(non HA, different node)
InfluxDB
Zabbix for monitoring
Vaultwarden
etherpad
Technitium DNS
A NTP server
Mesh Central
A win11 VM with RDP
paperless NGX
calibre Web (or does that count as Media already)
Agent DVR
Spoolmann
OrcaSlicer via Browser(linuxserver.io)
Omada Controller
Univention to bring everything together
netbox to document half of the shit
wiki.js to document the other half

Honestly,I think I have a problem.

[–] bladewdr@infosec.pub 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Is Univention essentially just an LDAP server?

[–] philpo@feddit.org 2 points 16 hours ago

No,more like an "AD" replacement. Does a lot of things(DNS,DHCP,some Apps),always depends on what one needs.

[–] 3dmvr@lemm.ee 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You have all the solutions lol

[–] philpo@feddit.org 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

It sounds like it, but there are a few things I still need to do.

AMP Gamemanager to get better control of the servers for the kiddos
Codeproject AI for better image recognition with agent dvr
A proper voice AI setup with HA
I need to get my PBX setup going again
I will soon clean up my media and storage solution and move to TrueNAS

And I need to automate more. One day....

Can confirm you have a problem. I mean, you have two services to document your stuff.

[–] philpo@feddit.org 2 points 6 days ago

Yeah, but Netbox is really really neat to document cabeling, IPAM, the rack and does asset management as well with a plugin.

But it's really hard to document HOWTOs in it. And wiki.js is really a bad idea for the former.

Storyteller, ever wish you could listen to an Audio book and read an ebook at the same time.

Storyteller can combine an Audio book and and ebook to create a single ebook that can be read like a normal ebook or you can listen to it and watch the actively spoken sentences highlighted in real time like a karaoke song lyrics.

Lol no? Absolutely not.

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I don't mean actively reading and listening to the audio book, think of it like English subtitles for a English movie. You can ignore them for the most part, until you hear something you didn't quiet catch or you were not paying attention and missed something, it's much easier to scroll back a little and read the text to catch up rather than play the part again. Happens a lot for me when listening to audio books. And rewinding the book to catch up on the part I missed is annoying, it's better to just quickly read the last few lines instead.

[–] Tablaste@linux.community 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This is pretty neat!

https://storyteller-platform.gitlab.io/storyteller/docs/intro/what-is-this

Sounds like you need both the audio and the ebook to make it work?

I typically only have one or the other.

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Yes you need to provide both an Audio book and an ebook as inputs, if you only have one of these, you could try getting the other from your local library, or you could sail the seas. It's not a fool proof process, so sometimes you have to try different formats of Audio books to make it work, also depending on how beefy your computer is, it will take some time to process, 1-2 hrs for big books like Stormlight Archive on my laptop

[–] Tablaste@linux.community 3 points 6 days ago

Joplin. I have it as a sync server. But have it tucked away in a cloud server for the times when I'm traveling so j always have a way to access data in case my phone gets stolen/confiscated.

[–] mjhelto@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

Ombi for media requests.

I like seeing the same question pop up at least every few months to get fresh opinions, thats like 2 years old ppl could have scrapped their setup and have new ones now

[–] gwheel@lemm.ee 43 points 1 week ago (13 children)

Immich backs up photos from my phone and camera with tagging and search
Archivebox is like a personal internet archive, I use it to save youtube videos and important memes
Homeassistant does home automation stuff, currently I only use it to turn the speakers on/off with the tv
Forgejo is a git host like Github, and can regularly pull external repositories to keep a personal mirror
Actual budget is a budgeting app, nice for tracking expenses across multiple accounts

ActualBudget for finances.
Radicale for calendar/contacts.
Immich for photos/videos.
Redlib as a frontend for Reddit (LibRedirect ftw).
TheLounge as an IRC client.
Bitwarden/Vaultwarden as a password manager.
paperless-ngx for documents

[–] AtHeartEngineer@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (18 children)

Local LLMs, I'm surprised no one brought that up yet. I've got an old GPU in my server, and I'm running some local models with openweb-ui for use in the browser and Maid for an Android app to connect to it.

Mumble and Wireguard

Some of my friends are heading back to mumble because discord is getting too bloated with useless features.

Wireguard is to be able to access my local network when I am away.
