What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers?

As a backup :p

Immich is really good actually. Completely replaced Google Photos for me.

Home assistant is lights, switches, sensors, blinds, fans, heat/cooling, and more. I have an automation that tells me 5 minutes after the wash is done so I can move laundry into the dryer, and another one that tells me if anyone left the back door open, telling me to close it. (My dog can open it from outside).

Among other things, yes.

Check out linkwarden as well

I think most people on here are reasonable, and I think local LLMs are reasonable.

The race to AGI and companies trying to shove "AI" into everything is kind of insane, but it's hard to deny LLMs are useful and running them locally you dont have privacy concerns.

Ais fine as a tool, trying to replace workers and artists while blatantly ripping stuff off is annoying, it can be a timesaver or just helpful for searching through your own docs/files

The tech itself is great.

But:

• Businesses push that shit where it doesn't belong
• Businesses replacing people by AI when it is objectively worst, to make a buck
• Business stealing the work of million of people to train their model

I think looking through the comments on this post about AI stuff is a pretty good representation of my experience on lemmy. Definitely some opinions, but most people are pretty reasonable 🙂

LLMs are perfectly fine, and cool tech. Problem is they're billed as being actual intelligence or things that can replace humans. Sure they mimic humans well enough, but it would take a lot more than just absorbing content to be good enough at it to replace a human, rather than just aiding them. Either the content needs to be manually processed to add social context, or new tech needs to be made that includes models for how to interpret content in every culture represented by every piece of content, including dead cultures who's work is available to the model. Otherwise, "hallucinations" (e.g. misinterpretation and thus miscategorization of data) will make them totally unreliable without human filtering.

That being said, there many more targeted uses of the tech that are quite good, but always with the need for a human to verify.

Wireguard is quite magic itself

God stop pushing tailscale. It's just abstraction on top of wireguard. Those of us who knows how VPNs work don't want a third party involved in our routing.

I have tried and their documentation is too complex and incomplete for self hosting. Right now, for communication, I have mumble for VoIP and ngircd as an irc server.

It pretty much covers 80% of discord use case. I am looking for something that support video chat/screen sharing. Synapse is honestly not bad at all. But it's too power hungry for my liking. I wish Jitsi could have better ux for average consumer. It feels too business like.

I've been testing MatterMost for a few days.

It's closer to Slack than Discord but has most of the same features.

Or WireGuard + PiHole

Mealie is what keeps me s/o tolerant of my selfhosting obsession

Stripping the dogshit ads and filler from recipes makes it worth it alone.

Everything else is also great.

Glad you asked. I left that open on purpose because my server probably got hacked and I have only just reinstalled. So far I've been using DaviCAL - for many years - but I'll revise this choice. It's a little dated and quirky, and so ist PostgreSQL which it depends on.

You can optimize php a lot for performance. See my config https://gitlab.melroy.org/-/snippets/91

Eh, my Nextcloud LXC container idles at less than 4.5% CPU usage ("max over the week" from Proxmox). I use PostgreSQL as the backend on a separate LXC container that has some peaks of 9% CPU usage, but is normally at 5% too.

I only have two users, though. But both containers have barely IO activity.

It sounds like it, but there are a few things I still need to do.

• AMP Gamemanager to get better control of the servers for the kiddos
• Codeproject AI for better image recognition with agent dvr
• A proper voice AI setup with HA
• I need to get my PBX setup going again
• I will soon clean up my media and storage solution and move to TrueNAS

And I need to automate more. One day....

Yeah, but Netbox is really really neat to document cabeling, IPAM, the rack and does asset management as well with a plugin.

But it's really hard to document HOWTOs in it. And wiki.js is really a bad idea for the former.

No,more like an "AD" replacement. Does a lot of things(DNS,DHCP,some Apps),always depends on what one needs.

Dang sorry to hear that - I just followed the docker compose instructions and setup Caddy (which was also new to me) on my VPS and I was off the races, no issues yet.

All OpenWRT-based routers have the option of built-in DNS-based adblock, can thoroughly recommend the Turris routers for such things.

!mikrotik@lemmy.world routers are made in Europe and have adblock built in

If your router supports Freshtomato firmware, it also has adguard you can enable too.

I believe that functionality exists already if you are using Plex; via RSS sync.

Yes you need to provide both an Audio book and an ebook as inputs, if you only have one of these, you could try getting the other from your local library, or you could sail the seas. It's not a fool proof process, so sometimes you have to try different formats of Audio books to make it work, also depending on how beefy your computer is, it will take some time to process, 1-2 hrs for big books like Stormlight Archive on my laptop

I don't mean actively reading and listening to the audio book, think of it like English subtitles for a English movie. You can ignore them for the most part, until you hear something you didn't quiet catch or you were not paying attention and missed something, it's much easier to scroll back a little and read the text to catch up rather than play the part again. Happens a lot for me when listening to audio books. And rewinding the book to catch up on the part I missed is annoying, it's better to just quickly read the last few lines instead.

You can use the Linuxserver.io VSCodium Image and replace VSCodium with Emacs in the Dockerfile.

PyLoad isn't a container I run 24/7 because the use cases are a bit limited. Basically, if I have a large list of files that I want to pass to my NAS (perhaps a list from something like DownThemAll) that won't complete in a short sitting, I will pass that list to PyLoad so it can just run the background.

I once downloaded about 2,000 or so office files and tools like this have let me do that automatically.

Lol, when I moved the most recent pihole version had just got released so I wanted to check it out. I have pihole service my IoT network and 3 adguard->unbound instances setup for my main network for fallbacks 🤣.

But yeah I hate ads/trackers with a burning passion as you can see hahaha

Yep you can self-host findmydevice anywhere. Personally, I deployed it on fly.io as I don't expose my local network to the internet for security reasons

Lol. :)

Home Assistant notifications and almost all other notification services on phones actually route notifications through a cloud service like Firebase because Apple and Google try to railroad apps into their platforms. Ntfy lets you actually self host notifications without a third party, but also without killing your battery.

That's not the main thing I care about, though. Mainly I use it as a self hosted replacement for PushBullet, to share links and files with myself across machines and do some light alerting for servers and stuff (e.g. TrueNAS errors). Some of that could he done with HA, but ntfy is just better for some other uses with stuff like its web ui.

Plus, apart from that ntfy is really easy to integrate with other stuff, like its easy to send a notification from a shell script or web hook so you can hack it into things that don't otherwise support notifications (there are also lots of things that support ntfy natively, e.g. the arrs).

I just started porting a DnD Beyond campaign into it and using it to store homebrew world info for a future game, but so far it's been basically everything I ever wanted from Roll20 or DDB, but self-hosted and they give you access to the code so you can just... Code in features you want

Thinking about pirating the FFXIV TTRPG when someone puts it up and making it in Foundry if it's not already done by someone smarter eventually lol

That's TrueNas. It can run docker compose files so I'm abusing the crap out of what it's supposed to do haha.

Looks like TrueNAS.

Eh, it's a document viewer. I figured they're referring to Plex and jellyfin when they say media.

Yeah, just me and my family for now. I have gotten a lot of knowledge setting stuff up and hope to eventually get some VPSs set up for some public Lemmy, pixelfed, and maybe mastodon instances for digital nomads and expats.

It is allotted 16GB out of the 62GB total that the host has. Which is the amount their docs call for in a 20 RPS or 1000 user scenario. Since I am the only one doing any commits or pulls, it does fine.

Does take its sweet time to reboot though. 😆
