What can the 'average Joe' start hosting, that will change their life? - eviltoast

I’m already hosting pihole, but i know there’s so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks all! I’ve got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!

    Vaultwarden is pretty game changing. No more reusing passwords and they aren’t in the cloud.

      This is a rare one for which i wouldnt bother self hosting; i trust the centralized server provider, i can take an offline backup of my passwords and it only costs $10. And im the sort to run my own email server because i don’t trust the cloud providers.

        I second your opinion about not selfhosting Bitwarden. About email, have a look at Proton mail. All the emails are encrypted in the server and are decripted client side with your password only when you open them.

        Vaultwarden is super easy. I’ve not had a single problem with it and I’ve been running it for a couple years.

      I second this, bonus points if you get a domain through Cloudflare and use their tunnel service to access shrike away from home!

      yeah, password manager for me. love it. I am looking at using the home assistant addon to manage it now, it may make life a little easier.
