Always enjoyed scrolling though these posts, figured I’d give it a go here:
What are your must-have selfhosted services?
Some of mine:
- Adguard Home - Add blocker
- Adguard Home Sync - sync multiple adguard instances
- Bookstack - documentation
- BorgMatic - config driven backup
- Change Detection - monitor websites for changes, prices for example.
- FreshRSS - RSS reader
- Home Assistant - home automation
- KitchenOwl - groceries
- Rclone - sync backups to remote storage
- Traefik - reverse proxy
- Vikunja - todo list
- Wireguard Easy - VPN
Things I rely on are Nextcloud, Jellyfin, Wireguard, and Matrix-Synapse.
Why matrix-synapse? Just curious.
E2EE chat.
I host a non-federated instance for use within a large group for chat/voice/video. It’s very convenient and private.
I’ve looked at Synapse before but disabling the federation and making the accounts private and subject to approval was too much work for me. It was designed to be interconnected with Matrix and it shows.
Are the conferencing features that great to be worth the headache?
