Anyone else have it ? The more work I do setting things up like dockers, reverse proxies, single sign on, etc. the more I want to do it. But I’m running out of ideas of things to host that would actually benefit me. But I have that itch where I want more lol.

So far I have the following: (EDIT: added descriptions for those who aren’t familar with all of it. )

  1. Caddy - use this primarily as a reverse proxy to access my applications via my domain and outside the house
  2. Nextcloud - mainly using it for cloud storage but also some of their other apps likes decks and tasks as well as contacts and calendar.
  3. Memos - simple note taking app similar to twitter but personal.
  4. Miniflux - rss
  5. Authentik - sso
  6. Portainer - web view of dockers and status / health
  7. KitchenOwl - groceries / recipe management
  8. Actual - zero budgeting (like YNAB)
  9. Firefly iii - finances management
  10. Immich - images / iCloud replacement
  11. Organizr (barely using it. Trying to think of more use cases) - dashboard of all my services
  12. Speedtest - runs daily speed tests and monitors.
  13. Plex - host my media library
  14. Plex_Debrid / rclone - sync real Debrid with plex.
  15. rsync to backup data to one onsite and one off site location. Automated backups
  16. Watchtower automated docker updates
  17. Home Assistant - home automation
  18. Home bridge - Apple home automation
  19. Zigbee2mqtt - manage zigbee smart home devices
  20. Unifi controller - manage my network

I think that’s everything!

Edit: Thanks for the overwhelming responses! I really appreciate everyone with their opinions. First things first I did get borg setup for both my server and my desktop so thats awesome! I am waiting for response from my backup server admin if they can install rdiff-backup for me so I can utilize that as well for my cloud backups.

Going to take a look at a few other of the many suggestions here! More than a few I like!

      I’ve considered this. Since I use it. I always read how people say that’s the one thing they rather leave to the pros lol

        I disagree, you’ll have your backups, so even if everything breaks you will have a failsafe. If you get compromised it’s still not an issue: Everything server side is encrypted, the safety is in the clients and your master password length.

        So, I see no particular differences with other services. Considering I hear of some issues with bitwarden servers that are constantly under attack, selfhosting could even increase the availability.

          Yeah that’s a good point. I don’t see why not. Thanks I’ll probably give it a shot.

        I got it working in my local Kubernetes cluster, by writing all the yml files myself. Then realized someone built a Helm chart for it, which is much easier to maintain. The hardest part was generating the TLS cert.
