Bitwarden/Fresh Rss can be replaced easily by Nextcloud, less apps to manage.
I really like syncthing, if you only want to sync files I think its more lightweight compared to nextcloud
If you switch to jellyfin, it can replace plexus and calibre..
Its been an awesome addition to my home setup
"…for a few months." /shakes head. I mean, good for you to learn and work on these things, but the issue is maintenance and staying on top of it.
Absolutely amazing list of things and quite practical for daily life usage.
I am waiting on my parts to arrive for the homelab but I am looking forward to self host most of the things you have mentioned in the video. Suuuuuper excited to let go of my cloud subscriptions and switch to fully self hosted space!
Great video and I did not realise the video was 17 mins long until it ended. LOL
What are you running your docker server on. What are the specs of that machine?
There's switfin, which is a Jellyfin client for iOS, and it's much better.
"Music – Mom" 6:38 lol. "Hey Mom this is how you use it, cool huh?"
Your Mom: forgets immediately and doesn't bother with it again
where can I see your host specs?
do you have a router and an external IP
i host sunshine to stream games from my pc, and then connect to it over internet via tailgate from my tablet
Kubernetes has been fun to play with.
Would love a video on self-hosting searx!
been running TrueNAS for a while and while k3s is "nice", it's also excessively complicated so I'm wildly excited that TrueNAS is moving to docker with the next electric-eel release
Changing from Plex to Jellyfin was painful, but I no longer trust Plex for privacy.
Would love to see that video about setting up local search. Subscribed in hopes you'll end up creating it. 🙂
tautalli is pronounced totally
self hosting is the way to go, we need leverage IPFS also.
Adguardhome, wireguard can be next Additions to the homelab
Docker is cancer. It just adds an extra layer of obfuscation and complication and makes it even harder to get shit to work together. I hate it. And it just means extra shit to sift through in message bases as people ask how to get X to work in Docker.
Host Immich for your photos.
leaving comment for algorithm boost. Good video 👍
I want to get hyped up about it, but then I watch videos like this about self hosting and I just can't see anything that would be useful to me. Like the most I would probably do is use Jellyfin for my movies. But all that does is let me see my movies organized with metadata instead of just folders. It all seems useless to me and not worth my time. Everything I have is on my PC or attached storage. When people say "Yeah, but on server is so much better". Better how? "Well…. I can access it on the internet". Really, so you would go to the other end of the world to see things you have never seen before and yet you would sit in front of a screen and access your own sh… at home like you can't live without it for a week?
I really did sit to watch this video all hyped thinking maybe this is the day that I will convert, but I didn't find any of it being beneficial.
So I self host a lot.
I'll throw my hat in the ring for stuff other than the typical Arr and Plex stuff:
– Komga: Great comic book reader/server
– Bookstack: Well put together Wiki
– Uptime Kuma: Monotoring for websites, servers, etc
– Romm: Games manager/Downloader
– Syncthing: A fairly reliable file and folder syncing service similar to Nextcloud but without the Nextcloud fluff
– Directus (a few): A CMS for Web apps
– EasyWG: An implementation of Wireguard made easy
– LeanTime: Project management system. Admittedly, I dont use this as much as….
– Vikunja: Great task list manager that comes with Kanbab too!
– SuiteCMS: Using as a CMS for my business
– Ghost (a few): Blog alternative to WordPress, with Stripe implementation built in
Just to name a few.
As for Nextcloud, since you are no longer using Immich, check out Nextcloud Memories. Great alternative. If you want better control of your albums though, spin up an instance of Ghost and use that as your frontend.
As for Firefly III, if you're not managing lots of accounts, I dont see what the problem is; I use it all the time for basic accounting and budgeting. Sure it sucks that you dont have bank link (without using a complex setup with some random Docker container and Plaid Development portal etc etc), but manual reconciliation with my bank statements gives a lot of clarity to what's going on with my money and with less errors. NEVER going back to spreadsheets.
Use forgejo instead of gitea. It's a fork of gitea cause the maintainer is doing some closed source features.
Use Odoo instead of Firefly, it's just a complete business suite.
Great Video, where do you get your books from?
Gitea is amazing and really easy to setup with Docker. So much faster than Gitlab. Just my opinion here.
I did not know that calibre web was a thing. I've been thinking about getting into self hosting, but I've been lazy. Also intimidated lol. But freshrss, nextcloud, and now calibre web are all things I'd like to do.
One thing that holds me back is that I have not found a good resource for when something inevitably goes wrong.
Gitea container is simple it just requires env variables (db name, address, username, password), bind the directories or use volumes cant remember their values. Also ports IDR their values either XD. and a MySQL container which requires the database name, database user (name and password) and database root password. You will probably want to have a named volume or a bind for the /var/lib/mysql folder. And default port is 3306 i believe.
I just did it monday night using podman and cockpit. Enjoy.
As for Jellyfin mobile apps – there are actually native applications available that are (imo) much better. They're called FinDroid (for Android) and SwiftFin for iOS.
Thank you sir! I had never heard of FreshRSS. Installed it tonight. Love it! Great show!!
Based Burn Notice
You could try forgejo instead of gitea, it's a fork that's more committed to open source
Do a video on SearXNG 😊
For what it's worth, I've been using Jellyfin for about six months and it's been great. I run it via Docker and it's been a treat. I'd definitely recommend giving it another try.
Before installing Jellyfin, I'd first attempted to use Plex but noped the hell out of that when it wanted me to create a third-party account.
Also, related, Navidrome is great for music.
Just had a thought… Linux Cast 2.0 will be Matt getting a network rack in the background. Then we’ll know he’s fully into the self hosting scene.
