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!
Plex with the ARR apps have changed my life and save me and my family about 1k per year.
The whole ARR stuff is only for torrents, right?
Yes and no. They do have some connections to NZB, but primarily used for torrents.
Search on sonarr for TV > add series to sonarr > search for series by episode or season > sonarr asks prowlarr (or jackett) to search torrent providers > find and add episode or season > prowlarr finds torrent and sends to sonarr > sonarr sends torrent to your torrent client to download (I use qbittorrent) > done.
If setup correctly, once the download is finished, sonarr will copy the series to your media server folder so it’s accessible from plex/jellyfin/emby/what have you.
It does leave the initial files in the torrent software for seeding purposes. I’m sure there is a setting in there somewhere to disable that, but always seed!
The search can be entirely automated too. Handful of apps integrate with sonarr/radarr so you can have your server users request shows and sonarr would find them and add them automatically for you.
You can also specify release type in quality and specifically if it’s a rip or HDTV recording, assuming the provider reports that which most do.
Lastly, you can specify by size ranges. It takes a good while to find something you like, but to keep your server from filling up, you can limit the max size for a single episode or movie (in radarr).
My only real complaint is the automated search in sonarr is by episode so you can get a mixed back of quality that way. You can manually search for an entire season. It can’t correctly deal with a full series release on its own so some manual work would be needed there.
It’s effort for sure, but worth it.
Basically yeah
What about hosting a web server, would it not be quite a change too?
Home Assistant.
This is like an open source “hey Google”?
It’s a program you host yourself that can connect to dozens (hundreds?) of different smart device interfaces. Instead of having different apps to control you smart lights, plugs, switches, vacuums, etc., you can connect everything thru Home Assistant and make completely different devices work together.
I wish HA was reliable. Every time I get motivated to set something up it inevitably stops working eventually.
I think this is mostly down to hardware vendors wanting to keep you in their walled garden and breaking APIs as well as the overly convoluted steps you have to go though to get stuff working (hello Google). But it still kills any enthusiasm I have for it.
Yeah this is an issue not exclusive to Home Assistant unfortunately. I’ve been dabbling in home automation for years, and every single piece of equipment I have every purchased has at least once gotten flaky or straight up died for absolutely no reason. It’s just part of life with home automation it seems like.
Yep same here, it saddens me because my house could be rocking some awesome stuff if it all just worked.
Well, don’t use devices from waited garden ecosystems. My Home Assistant is up and running for years without any issues.
If it were that easy (and cheap) to get devices that are completely open without the need to manually flash every single one then I already would.

So, if you don’t know yet what you’re doing, I wouldn’t host anything critical yet, but I’m using:
And so far, very few troubles. It’s a layer on top of Debian to ease self-hosting. Comes by default with email and XMPP server. You can add Nextcloud and many other services as you wish.
Doesn’t looks like this is available for Linux? I have older hardware running Mint that this would be perfect for. Am I just missing it?
It IS literally a Linux distribution, based on Debian with a layer on top of it for easy admin and managing applications. So you don’t install it on Linux, you just install it.
WireGuard, helpful for accessing stuff on your internal network that you don’t want to expose while you’re out.
Tailscale is an easy way to get this setup too
And there is the opensource selfhosted implementation of that as well of course! https://github.com/juanfont/headscale
+1 for Tailscale if one wants to get a private VPN up and running quickly.
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.
If you are into RPGs Foundry VTT is a great replacement for roll 20 or any of the other virtual tabletops.
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.
So, if I understand correctly it at least had life changing consequences.
and now have zero downtime.
You mean your service availability is better than five nines??
Since no one else has mentioned it, I’ll give a shout out to documentation engine Outline. Definitely on the trickier side to set up (requires three auxiliary services to be configured) but creates great looking docs that share easily, allows for collaboration and is super fast.
Bookstack is also a good one. Haven’t set it up on the home server yet but when I was playing around with it on localhost it was pretty decent for my uses.
That looks super cool. Thanks!
This looks pretty cool, but I’m assuming the “audit trail” being limited to enterprise users means I can’t see version history on the free version. I’d consider paying the $4/user/month, but the 100 user minimum kinda kills that option for me. If I’m wrong and “audit trail” means something else, I’d strongly consider spinning up an instance!
Can confirm it has a per-page history, presented as a timeline. Not sure what additional capabilities the audit trail feature provides.
That looks super cool. Thanks!
Looks similar to Confluence but more of a pain to get set up.
I’m pretty sure self-hosting Confluence isn’t possible anymore, or is being sunsetted as a product. I use Confluence at work and compared to Outline it’s noticeably slower in navigation and search. Agree 100% at the pain of configuring it though, it took me two attempts, months apart to get it running. The nice thing, from a self-hosting perspective, is once you’ve built it you also have object-storage, local auth and a database in your network for other self-hosted services that support those things, or for things you build yourself!
@deeply_moving_queef why is SSO paywalled?
Not sure why SAML is paywalled but there’s a bunch of options for SSO at the free tier. Google, Microsoft, Slack, Gitlab, OIDC. I deployed a Keycloak instance to provide auth.
Is that even possible?
TandoorRecipes is a great little recipe-hosting service, and it’s available as an app on Unraid. No more saving recipes in my notes app, I actually have nicely-formatted ingredient lists and instructions.
I’ll second Tandoor. It’s been so easy to use and import recipes that my 70 year old mother figured it out without help.
I’ve recently also discovered Mealie.io which looks amazing, but I’m still in the setup phase of my first self-hosting solution so I can’t recommend from personal experience.

Nextcloud has a recipe app as well, and an Android app as well. Haven’t used it much but I thought that it worked pretty well for scraping internet recipes.
How do i save this for later

n8n changed my life but job specific
i have tried N8N, but still prefer node-red. any reason why N8N?
N8n isnt really mich like NR, its more of just a way to paste together cloud services. Nodered is streets ahead in functionality.
A catch-all email server. I have a limitless amount of mail addresses going to me and my wife’s mailboxes. When an address gets leaked or start receiving spam I immediately know what company is to blame.
@jaackf
SyncThing. It’s the best sort of selfhosted program. You set it up once and then never think about it because it just keeps quietly doing what you wanted.Wikis can be great if you’ve got a few folks that need to coordinate information.
