@brunty i think currently it's jellyfin.
Jellyfin provides a real value you can't get by paying for a subscription. All streaming services have to look for license agreements and the movies you want to watch might disappear tomorrow for any reason, if ever offered in first place.
With Jellyfin you take your physical copys of media, rip them and store them on your NAS. They'll stay around as long as you maintain it. And it doesn't even cost anything beyond electricity.
@sheogorath I should try #Jellyfin out, but I've got #Plex in a place where it's working nicely and I'm happy with it
Might spin up another container to tinker with Jellyfin and see if it's worth the switch!

@brunty well, plex is also an option, never got that started.
Some people have privacy concerns when it comes to plex, but if you are happy with it, no need to switch :D
@brunty Hard to pick just one, but if I have to, it would be Ghost blog platform.
Ofc @bitwarden, and #mattermost are right up there.
But again, the list is long and the reason is simple. It works, under my control and something that is part of my daily usage.
@brunty It's as toss-up between my Mastodon instance and Ceph.
For Mastodon, it's simple: I can self-host my own social media platform, how cool is that?
For Ceph, it's just the "huh?!" factor. When you first look at it, it seems to require a 5 people Ops team. But once you've set it all up, it is extremely low maintenance and supplies me with disk pools I can use for block devices for VMs, S3 for all manner of stuff and a shared networked FS with CephFS.
@brunty
I LOVE this question!
#seafile - G-drive style file storage/sharing
#vaultwarden - bitwarden implementation
#nextcloud - Like G-suite but infinitely useful
#Linkace - Bookmarks, link collections, sharing
#mastodon - go figure!
#gitea or #forgejo - Lighter than gitlab!
#opengist - just like GitHub gists
#privatebin - secure and flexible Pastebin
Bonus round: nextcloud can be used as a #webdav endpoint so you can use it as the storage backend for #joplin and #obsidian note apps.
@sb some great stuff there! I love #Nextcloud, I use it as a #PhotoSync endpoint to back up my photos from my #iPhone to :)
I currently have
#11ty blog
#gitea
#nextcloud
#miniflux
#microblogpub
And I do use nextcloud webdav for joplin.
@finner @brunty
I'm not sure that you would need both in most cases. Seafile does a very good job standing in for Google Drive, where as Nextcloud is file storage, document editing, calendar, productivity etc etc.
I would take a look at the feature pages for both to decide which one fit your needs best.
@brunty wordpress for blogging. Hugo for static sites, calibre for ebooks, gotosocial for mastodon/ fedi presence.
Focus always remains on lean and simple softwares with customizabilities.
@brunty mkdocs or mdbooks for documentation.
Experimenting with obsidian publishing projects for kb sharing.
Minio - S3 Buckets for testing & as way to dump photos from phone to laptop
Mastodon - It's fun here...
LibreTanslate - OS Translation tools (plugged into Mastodon)
Wordpress - Bloging
Postfix/Dovecot - because it's good to suffer from time to time
Bind9 - because it's always DNS
Things I missed off my self hosted list.
- Docker registry (Including simple UI)
- NPM Registry
- Helm Registry
- MicroK8s cluster
Mainly used for testing stuff for work, but also because I like to know how the work stuff is meant to work for when it doesn't...
Also now I remember...
- A Gopher server
- A Finger deamon
@brunty Right now, I'm only fully #SelfHosting #Forgejo and #Syncthing, with #Bitwarden next on my list.
Infrequently working on migrating stuff I used to host on #ESXi VMs to #Ansible configured #Podman cointainers, trying not to Bash Script All The Things. To make things more interesting I also decided on running it all on #Rocky #Linux to see what has happened on the Red Hat side of things since RHEL6, which in turn led me down the nowadays relatively straight forward #SELinux rabbit hole.
@brunty on Yunohost;

@brunty I canβt believe no one mentioned Immich. Itβs the best google photos replacement out there.
