A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I've had a "home lab server" for a while now, it's nothing special but I think I can do more with it, I just don't know what to do with it... I currently use it just for a pihole and (sometimes) a Minecraft server or a web server... I used to also have a nexcloud and a searxng instance (which I will probably bring back)... Any ideas for other things I can run on it?

There are only a few services I host that are publicly accesible, and I put those on a 12 dollar per year virmach vps. One of those is vaultwarden. Some others are gotify, wallabag, hauk, and remotely. I don't think it's a problem to run vaultwarden on your lan only because it will sync changes when you connect and resolve any conflicts. I have it accessible from the internet to encourage friends and family to use a password manager with as few hurdles as possible. I've found it to be easy to administrate and secure. In fact, I just moved it from my cancelled dedipath vps to my virmach vps yesterday with zero issues and about 5 minutes of downtime.

yeah, I thought about that option however I would like to have my hardware of the server accessible. until I am not upgrading power consumption wise it does not make sense for me to buy a vps.

(neglecting the point about data owning etc)
