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!
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.
I’m hosting syncthing on my server to sync obsidian notes between my pc and phone, even when one of the devices is offline. I find it very useful.
Also, nextcloud, jellyfin, qbittorrent, monero node and netdata for monitoring my server
For me it’s a HomeAssistant instance. Great product that has some very tangible use cases that can benefit ones household in terms of being able to implement nice automations etc, and also a great hub in that it supports such a broad range of products and services. As an Apple user in particular its one of the great ways to get non HomeKit certified devices working with Siri/Homekit on my other Apple products.
It also makes installing addons a breeze including other products people have mentioned here such as AdGuard Home (as a PiHole alternative) and the like.
A few years ago I’d say it wasn’t for the average Joe, but I think the product has really matured and is much simpler than it used to be. There’s a strong community out there too.
For multimedia I’d say Plex personally, but Jellyfin would be another option. Good way to manage personal media libraries.
It depends on what you use on your daily basis. There’s a lot of stuff, but what do you use normally? Are you a Netflix user? More of an audible guy? Evernote/notion? Maybe we can then recommend something that’s useful for you
Quick question, don’t want to highjack the thread. This looks interesting, but I don’t understand why I couldn’t just install it on my regular laptop running fedora. Why does it need it’s own server?
Well you can install it locally and get the web interface via localhost, but if it’s a proper server you can access the news from your sources from anywhere and you can also use 3rd party apps in your phone to get a different interface via the API
Hey I got FreshRSS self hosted and everything is up and running smooth. Only thing is, for the websites without RSS… how did you get the RSS for those?
I’d recommend you to look up *arr stack and Jellyfin. Good start is Trash guides. It will guide you step by step on how to properly set it up. It can completely replace Netflix and all other streaming services and its all free.
This is a rare one for which i wouldnt bother self hosting; i trust the centralized server provider, i can take an offline backup of my passwords and it only costs $10. And im the sort to run my own email server because i don’t trust the cloud providers.
Even if you lose your server in a housefire, you will still have the Bitwarden DB that is saved on your devices. Basically every device is another duplicate of the database. Pretty hard to lose everything.
We recently set up a magic mirror (showing public transport connections/time/calendar/weather information) on a raspberry pi 3b. But it involved some more fiddling with electronics and software.
(Maybe an alternative would also be possible using small oled (128x64 pixel) screens)
Would be my suggestion if you are up for a challenge =)
We also used to host our own nextcloud, but decided to move it to hetzner as the pricing was unbeatable…
Else a pihole would also have been my suggestion. Maybe a Kodi mediacenter is also worth looking into.
In the end it is a scaffold on which you can install plugins which you like. The plugin community already provided many handy. Still it can be a challenge if you are not very “techy”. Wish you the very best! You can do it :)

These are the ones I can’t live without. All docker containers running on a NAS.
Why do you need to host youtube-dl?

Why do you need to host 2 search engines?
Because I can
How do i save this for later
Just hit that save button
How do I view comments?
Open your eyes and carefully focus them on the screen that holds this information.
How do I eat this sandwich I’m holding?
Open your mouth and stuff it in

+1 for Syncthing. Very reliable between my multiple Macs and NAS.
After what happened to imgur and gfycat, definitely their own image hosting service.
What happened to Imgur?
Any suggestions for Docker?
Imgur is preparing to wipe old uploads that aren’t linked to an account…
In my case, that’s pretty much every image I ever uploaded to Reddit using Sync for Reddit.
I’m not sure this is what you’re asking because Immich is more like Google Photos instead of imgur, but that’s what I use.

FreshRSS, news and websites fetched your way. You can even create feeds for websites that don’t provide one
Quick question, don’t want to highjack the thread. This looks interesting, but I don’t understand why I couldn’t just install it on my regular laptop running fedora. Why does it need it’s own server?

Oh ok thanks. I do like the idea of access from anywhere… I’m guessing a VPN would be needed on the server and phone? Or is this a whole big thing?
Check out tailscale, the best tool ever to access a server without opening ports or doing hard stuff
Or Cloudflare tunnels
yeah but I kinda dislike cloudflare. Tailscale is based on wireguard which is cool
Cool, I’ve heard of it but never really looked into it. I’ll give it a try.

Hosting a wedding has a pretty good chance to be life changing
I did this and it led to hosting a baby within my wife. Was pretty steep learning curve and now have zero downtime.
Vaultwarden is pretty game changing. No more reusing passwords and they aren’t in the cloud.
This is a rare one for which i wouldnt bother self hosting; i trust the centralized server provider, i can take an offline backup of my passwords and it only costs $10. And im the sort to run my own email server because i don’t trust the cloud providers.
Trillium notes and Bitwarden.
The note is packed with features and it can build maps from your tags aromatically. It helped me easily recall things
Bitwarden, because password need to be secured.
I don’t trust myself to not lose my entire Bitwarden vault in a house fire or failed hard drive
Self host gitea and then use pass and sync everything with git.
Now any device that can use git can have your passwords encrypted on it
I believe Vault/BitWarden caches all passwords on all devices. So you can create a backup anytime. Even when the instance is down.
Even if you lose your server in a housefire, you will still have the Bitwarden DB that is saved on your devices. Basically every device is another duplicate of the database. Pretty hard to lose everything.

What software did you use for the magic mirror?
It is open source if you are interested : https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror
