Selfhosted

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 can't live without my Nextcloud + Email server. Having all my personal files, contacts, email, calendar, and other personal information immediately accessible synced and backed up with a single app on any device or platform I want to use, is a dream come true, and I get to do it without any Big Tech, avoiding their lock-in and privacy invasion and without any fees or limits beyond my own hardware.

OpenVPN is how I can access it from anywhere in the world, so that gets an honorable mention too.

MythTV for the AV ... Volumio too, but, not upgrading that to v3.

Not seen radicale mentioned here...

I was an early adopter of OwnCloud and then switched to Nextcloud and, well, just gave up with it... no-one edits documents on it, we don't look at photos on it, but we did use a shared calendar... so I ditched that, installed radicale and been much happier (ie less admin time, more life time)

Also running syncthing from our phones to a home built NAS and a tablet in the kitchen as the NextCloud photo upload was (still is?) broken.

I run Arch btw

Home Assistant of course... MotionEye in a Pi Zero...

And it's all behind a pfSense box with DNS and GeoIP blockers installed.

Oh, and EmonCMS for my SolarPV.

+1 mythtv. It distributes OTA TV to kodi all over the house.

I run Radicale, got all my calendars, contacts, tasks/reminders and even notes on it. It's a great CalDAV & CardDAV server. Lightweight too, and backup is super simple since each thing is a plain text file. Been using it with DAVx5 on the phone and it works perfectly.

What do you use on your phone for Tasks?

OpenTasks is great, but hasn't had an update in 3 years, but jtx Board is unclear and massive overkill for me

[–] lemmyvore@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

I use Calengoo, it's a calendar app that supports both events and tasks in the same app.

But it depends on how you mean tasks, for me they're strictly reminders for "do thing at time". I don't use them for shopping lists or notes or things like that.

By Darwin I had not heard of wg-easy before. That is indeed easier than my setup. Thank you.

Syncthing - No introduction needed. Couldn't live without it.

Healthchecks.io (you can self host this) - Dead man's switch monitoring for all my automation. Most of my automated scripts hit up a Healthchecks endpoint when they run, and if they fail to hit the endpoint on a regular schedule I get notified. Mandatory for my anxiety.
