Things I host:
- Gotify - A server for push notifications. I use this to keep an eye on various services and scripts I have pushing message to it to make sure backups are done and such. I also have an app on my phone that mirrors phone notifications to it which is handy.
- Navidrome - Fantastic music server for the odd time I want to listen to listen to music and I'm not at my PC, though it is a nice music player anyway
- Home Assistant - For locally controlling the few "smart" things I have, isn't connected to the internet
- File Browser - Nice web based file browser that I mostly use to quickly upload stuff from my phone
- yarr - A very nice RSS reader
- Pi-hole - DNS based adblocker for my non-PC devices
- Forgejo - A git ui, like github
- gotosocial - Small fediverse server
- wallabag - A "read-it-later" service, saves web page content locally and lets you tag things for archival and just generally having one place to find articles and such for future reference
- linkding - Bookmarks, pretty simple~
- caddy - Web server/reverse proxy
Also two discord bots I wrote~
I'm switching to a NUC soon as I'm currently immich, which is quite alpha, but a very good photo sync/managing program on a VPS and I'd rather that locally, as well as wanting to run a jellyfin server somewhere dedicated instead off my PC.
My reasons for self hosting is probably the same as a lot of people, I don't like trusting my things to big companies, be it the data itself or just avoiding the annoyance of these companies going out of business and losing my stuff.
I can't say much about storage, my use case is very simple so I just use the default "sqlite on the server" setting and mostly use it with bash or python scripts via curl requests or using the
requests
library with python.I will say on the reliability though, I've been using it for... 3 or so years and never once had any sort of problem that I can recall, it is beautifully simple :3
