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!

    As someone else already said, automated backups should be up on the priority list.

    But also maybe try out self hosting Lemmy. It’s been a fun little journey and helped me flesh out my Caddy config more than I thought possible.

      Interesting. I did self host Lemmy once a few months ago but that was when I was using cloudflare. Maybe this would be a good way to learn more about Caddyfile and tricks.

        I’ve been running it behind Cloudflare with no issues. I’m also doing it a completely different way than the official docs and the ubergeek method. Mostly because I have a particular way I do my docker stuff.

        Every time something has broken it’s been 100% on me. My favorite way to learn is by breaking things though, so I also have an account on a different instance in case I break mine and have to wait a bit to fix it 😅

          Oh yeah 100% I had no problems with the cloudflare tunnel or anything. I just didn’t know much about Lemmy at the time and was having issues federating and that was an older version. I’m definitely going to look into hosting one again for me and my friends and probably mastodon too !
