Are you looking for a selfhosted solution?

chiccorosso

I know there is great cloud software solution but for security reason o for money you are looking for a self hosted solutions.

I found this great list!

Yes,

I already run nextcloud / PhotoPrism / JellyFin / Guacamole / NginX / etc in an old Desktop PC as my home server.

Levi

Yes, first time when I found "Self-hosted" list I was in heaven. Pumping everything into my home servers. But now, meh

Last time I've checked, people recommend immich over photoprism as it is more "free" and has more features

I also went through this. I installed a billion of them. But now, I only have "me tube" for downloading YouTube videos and that's it. For storing photos and stuff, i just use Google drive. Its cheaper for me to get 200 GB disk for a year, $30. If i run my own, immich or others, it's gonna be more expensive.

I run OpenWebUI, langtool, tailscale exit node, Jellyfin, discord bot, immich, probably a few other things i forgot.

I dont like google scanning my files and they dont have a feature like Apple which lets you turn on client side encryption with client side solo storage of the key. I have a N100 that runs my immich/jellyfin bc of its nice igpu and it was a one time $120 payment so I think will be cheaper long term

You can 100% find a VPS with a > 200GB disk for less than $30. Hell, Host-C and Calin had 5TB for $45 and 3TB for $38. Your really paying for the reliability with Google. And obviously spending less time setting it up and managing it. But at the same time you can do whatever with that VPS, not stuck with what Google wants.

There is a warning up there in their main page

And secondly, Libraries, album, face data, etc are already built for my instance over years. Didn't get the time or feel that urge to try migration to a new thing.

Thanks.

usually I check the www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/ subreddit

Now a days, i am really feeeling if i need a digital home (pc).

i use multiple PCs and transferring data from one to other is a PITA sometimes, eventhough i use git, lastpass.

so i am feeling like setting up a digital PC (not windows/linux but docker based) where i can have access to chromium, vscode etc.

so i can access it anytime without the need to remember passwords etc.

i saw some docker based Home solutions but gotta explore.

Since we're already here, what's currently recommendable self-hosted pastebin for private use?
I recently set up PrivateBin, which looks very nice, except that it lacks an administration option (it's completely open, which isn’t ideal for private use).
Having administrative control/user login is mandatory. I don't use docker.

I've been using it for more than a year now, some exposed to the internet most of them local usage

Thanks for that, looks highly customizable.

it seems bit complex for me (UI wise), in r/selfhosted i saw many others too earlier.

@haleeth how did you like this compared to portableApps i.e. carrying a pen drive with all apps you need and use it with any PC.

It's not that hard, it uses YAML files to configure the homepage

I am not just running a storage server, It has a Firewall, media server, DNS server & Adblock, and more, and it has been very helpful for me!

do you mean the ui looks complex or configuring it looks complex?

first glance of UI
configuring doesn't seem that hard

Immich has much better mobile clients especially for tablets, it’s getting new features regularly
Photoprism used to be really good but has fallen off over the years, barely any new features…

MicroBin is really nice. Pastebin, Fileshare, URL-shortener, QR-code generation if I am right.
I share my stuff via wiki/documentation sites like Outline and files via Pairdrop/Sharedrop/Snapdrop… whatever works in that moment x)

This indeed great, i already use their chromium but never knew we can use whole linux or windows and will give a try.

@lowendtalkxdax said: Webtop

this made me exciting knowing hosted solution but looks like it is just a bookmark service, nothing runs inside container

Well, It's a nice collection of apps! are those hosted on homelab setup or cloud setup?

You can run more than chromium!

haleeth

also, this might help if you want windows on the container

thanks for this, will try.

I am not much interested in any OS (linux or windows) because they may make vps slow so i can't use it much especially for development,
hence looking for light-weight solutions.

This is an excellent resource for anyone looking to move away from cloud solutions to self-hosted options. The list is well-curated and covers a wide range of tools for different use cases.

If you’re looking for something specific, feel free to mention it here. Many of us have tried some of these solutions and can share our experiences or tips for setting them up. Thanks for sharing this list! It’s definitely worth bookmarking.

Hosted vaultwarden on $7/yr BF 2023 without issue but now paid $40/yr for family. Vaultwarden is free but expensive time-costed for maintaining it and may also happen for other selfhosted things. Better spend time to earn money.
But i'm still hosting Nginx Proxy Manager, Tolgee, Hothost... etc for work.

@kainjinez said: Vaultwarden is free but expensive time-costed

brother, do you even know what you're talking about? I've been using it for like forever(since Jan) and has not faced a single issue. I never needed to touch it to "maintain" it. Sure, I run apt update && upgrade every once in a while but that too doesn't affect the container.

There is no need to "maintain" it unless you share it with other people or on open port to the internet.

I won't use it if it need to be placed behind a VPN or what to secure. Meaning every time I need to access or sync, I'll need to turn on the VPN? It is not convenient at all.
I actually used it over 1 year, expose the endpoint to the world and got no problem with it. I setup auto update OS, docker images and backup every 3 hours, everything is fine. Idk but maybe there is a vulnerable or VPS is down.. etc, I need to take care of it.

You don't need a VPN. Use Cloudflared to put it behind some obscure ass subdomain that cant be bruteforced and just...leave it there.

I like it putting behind CF than exposing it directly because I can benefit from some of the CF's built in WAF that helps protect against some basic attack. That too is if the subdomain and the domain where I host is somehow exposed(it wont be).
