This hasn’t been asked in a while, and I really loved reading the last discussion so I’m hoping to kick it off again and see what has changed!
What I’d like to know is:
- What specific products do you wish you could host on your own infrastructure, but the product does not offer such a deployment method
- Do you or would you use the product without being able to self-host? I.E. In its current state
- Do you think your employer, if any, holds the same opinions?
I would love to see a self-hosted VDE solution. We have a ton of VM options so I’d like to see the next logical step.
-
Google photos (I know about prism and have it, still not the same)
-
email… Fuuuck all you spammer asshomes, I just wanna host my own email 😭
-
Steam but for my own local games and isos
-
maps
-
Did I already say email?
-
A powerful AI model.
Google maps alternative that’s as good as Google maps. Its the only service left that has kept me from degoogling 100%
Not exactly fitting, probably, but self-hosted sync for Chromium browsers. Not xbrowsersync, but full-fledged, like Mozilla’s, with syncing extension settings, sending tabs, etc.
discord or something like teamspeak with screen sharing
There is Spacebar project: https://spacebar.chat
An alternative to ring, wish I could self host the video recordings from the doorbell camera.
Blue Iris is open source
UniFi Protect is closed source but self hosted
Remo does well.
Not sure about other ones.
Don’t know about the hardware, but HomeAssistant + Frigate can definitely cover the software side.
This brand does not force you to use their service. so you can just run it as a self hosted device. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZJS3L5Y/?coliid=I8SLH70CY9YEK&colid=29UXLJ80XOR0U&psc=0&ref_=list_c_wl_gv_ov_lig_pi_dp

a budgeting app with ease of use for desktop and mobile
Actual is amazing, and works on both Desktop and Mobile
An embedded system flasher station. Connect on mini PC desk with multiple ports, flash the embedded systems from any device. A vscode extension would be nice too.
This sound like you already mentioned the solution: A mini PC with several Ports and SSH into it via Vscode
bash script would do this, wont it?
Any MDM solution. All self-hosted options that were available (onemdm, flyve) are dead. I’m my own employer, so we definitely agree everything should be self-hosted :)
What does MDM stand for?
A decent fitness watch
I enjoy the xiaomi fitness mi band they have a third party app that can read it.
GadgetBridge? I tried it with an Amazfit watch and it just wasn’t anywhere near the same standard as garmin
Want to selfhost AI assistent with that can work with my desktop OS.
Sentry, on ARM64 and/or less ram
Agreed. I like sentry, but requiring 8gb of ram minimum is a bit much for small home servers.
8GB is also just not correct. It’s more like 9.5, and expect even that to crash sometimes. Dunno what the hell they are doing to use so much memory.
Yea it’s pretty excessive for what it is, isn’t worth the resources.
A proper inventory system. Homebox still too limited and others are to complex or too much asset management focused.
What’s missing in Homebox?
Showing pictures for items stored in containers.
