    1. Samba (I can move files now, sweet!)

    2. Jellyfin (I can watch stuff, sweet!)

    3. Qbittorrent-wireguard (for pirating copyrighted material from the internet illegally)

    4. Somesuch Wireguard solution (for accessing the backend and doin stuff)

    5. A proxy somewhere else

    The rest is extra. This gets my usual goals completed pretty well.

      I’m pretty sure that’s not the phase we use now

    Omada software controller handles my wireless access points. HomeBridge lets me control various things from my iPhone, without having to use 5 poorly-made apps.

    WireGuard on my VPS, because otherwise I’m stuck behind CGNAT and can’t access anything in my network from elsewhere. Or Tailscale, but that’s not really self-hosted.

      do you have a good guide on how it works/ho to set it up? I tried a little while ago but couldnt figure it out.

    For me:

    • Card/CalDAV baikal : so that I can sync my calendar and address book across phone, tablet, workstation, and laptop
    • Messaging prosody/synapse : private chatting with family.
    • File sync Nextcloud : for access to various files. This is the only one that has worked consistently for me. Syncthing et al would constantly lose connection and the file I needed wouldn’t be there. Works fantastic for syncing Joplin notes.
    • VPN wireguard : to access things remotely and securely
    • Audiobooks audiobooksheld : I have a ridiculously large audio book library and enjoy listening to them when driving. This way I don’t have to preload my phone.
    • Ebooks calibreweb : another large library. I have separate instances for different types: Magazines, regular books, RPG/gamebooks.
    • Version control forgejo : for coding and creative writing projects.
    • bookmarks shaarli : I find myself using this less and less. I use Firefox’s built-in sync, so I’m thinking about switching to separating selfhosting that instead of shaarli.
    • Photos Synology : looking forward to immich getting stable. Once they get past regular breathing changes I’ll move over to that.

    I have stopped using most of the services that got me into selfhosting. Things like rss and wikis. I try new things from time to time but kill them if I don’t find myself using them regularly or if the maintenance cost is more than the value add.

    • Pihole (if that service goes down, everyone in my house gets mad at me)
    • Jellyfin

    Everything else is a nice to have, not essential

    The arr family with a torrent client is great for feeding Jellyfin. If you are a developer, you can host your own shit there too. Game servers for playing with family and friends (so far Minecraft, Terraria, Project Zomboid, V Rising). I like to host a bunch of different telegram bots I wrote for fun. Discord bots are another interesting side. I also run some automation runners for helping out with testing, building and deploying my projects.

    Focus on your needs and what you want to improve of your online life, there is probably a project you can self host for it.

      (if that service goes down, everyone in my house gets mad at me)

      I bought a PiZero and set it up as a redundant pihole for this reason. It’s slower because it’s wireless, but not super noticeable since it’s ‘just’ DNS. I have the router pointed at the main and backup all the time and if I need to do something (or break the main one messing with dockers) there’s still the backup until I get the main up.

      I messed around with some High Availability configs where they both had the ‘same’ ip but could never get it working smoothly. I just use the teleporter functionality within pihole any time I update anything to keep them in sync, which is rare.

    @bpt11 headscale is high on my list, since it enables everything else I host to be behind a tailscale VPN.

    Radicale for calendar, tasks & contacts
    Syncthing for file sync
    FreshRSS is the best I’ve found for RSS
    Jellyfin for media
    Audiobookshelf for audiobooks (but really more for podcasts, in my case)

      Honest question, I’d love to host email but it seems like a huge pain in the ass these days with trying to keep from being delisted. Is there a decent, home user accessible email system that’s useable out there?

      A decade ago it was easy and doable but even in professional life I don’t deal with email backend anymore, all google or o365.

        Highly recommend purelymail. No nonsense mail, with straight forward pricing.

        You’ll never get away from maintenance for ant service you host, and you need a VPS at a minimum to handle mail unless your ISP allows it (which they probably don’t). There’s going to be front loading needed in order to make sure the IP you’re given isn’t on blocklists, and you’ll need to take appropriate measures with Apple, M$, Google, Yahoo, etc in order to send email to their domains. The good thing is that I’ve you do that, you’ll never need to touch it again.

        I personally use iRedMail because of the breadth of documentation, but mailcow and others like that are allegedly nice. I prefer the omnibus solutions because I don’t care to do manual service configuration if it’s not necessary.

        Been doing email hosting for my domain for 25 years, 12 years with iRedMail.
