Always enjoyed scrolling though these posts, figured I’d give it a go here:

What are your must-have selfhosted services?

Some of mine:

    My whole infrastructure is designed so that my homeserver is expendable.

    Therefore my most important tool is Syncthing. It is decentral, which is awesome for uptime and reducing dependance on a single point of failure. My server is configured as the “introducer” node for convenience.

    I try to find file-based applications, such as KeePassXC or Obsidian, whenever I can so that I can sync as much as possible with Syncthing.

    Therefore there is (luckily) not much left to host and all of it is less critical:

    • Nextcloud AIO: calendar, contacts, RSS, Syncthing files via external storage
    • Webserver: Firefox search plugins (Why is this necessary, Mozilla?!), custom uBlock Origin filter list, personal website

    So the worst thing that can happen when my server fails is: I need to import my OPML to a cloud provider and I loose syncing for some less important stuff and my homepage is not accessible.

    Since I just rebuilt my server, I can confirm that I managed a whole week without it just fine. Thank you very much, Syncthing!

    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.

      I have a network drive that I put all my documents on. Would using syncthing have a better workflow than that?

        It depends on what your workflow/usecase for putting documents on the drive currently is. Syncthing is usually intended to be put on two separate devices, and then a folder on each device gets synchronized - meaning you have a folder of your documents on each device. Is there any reason not to just mount the network drive’s folder and drag the documents in that way?

          Yeah, that’s how I do it now. I just mount the network drive on each PC and they can all access the same files. I’m just wondering if there’s a usecase that syncthing has that my workflow doesn’t that I just can’t think of because I haven’t used it.

            Yeah I wouldn’t bother. It intends for you to have a duplicate copy on every device, which is probably not what you want. Syncthing is really good for things like synchronizing notes, calendars, password databases, music, etc to your devices. Things that you want to access in both places, but that are usually disconnected from each other from time to time.

        I host a non-federated instance for use within a large group for chat/voice/video. It’s very convenient and private.

          I’ve looked at Synapse before but disabling the federation and making the accounts private and subject to approval was too much work for me. It was designed to be interconnected with Matrix and it shows.

          Are the conferencing features that great to be worth the headache?

        Is libreddit dead if you self host and don’t make enough requests to end up rate limited?

          I’ve been using libreddit on my synology nas, with the FF extension LibRedirect to redirect all reddit URLs to my local libreddit. It’s been working well since the Redditpocolypse. I don’t really use reddit often, so it might get used a few times a week if I’m searching for something.

            Interesting.

            For now, my old 3rd party reddit apps on Android still work with the simple workaround of being a mod (of my own hidden subreddit), since some mods needed 3rd party apps to do their work, so, apparently, reddit kept it open for all mod accounts.

    Can someone tell me the difference between Wireguard vs Wireguard Easy?

    I already have Wireguard installed, so I just wanted to know if I should switch.

    Nextcloud, after setting it up it gives me everything I love about Google and Apple’s cloud services without the privacy invasion or any of the other cons. And I even find it more stable and less buggy. 10/10
