Comment on Ideas for self-hosted services

What public services do you use that you think you’d want to self host? I’m trying to reduce the data i give to big companies so i starred running an instance of Audiobook-shelf and use it to auto grab my podcasts from an rss feed and keep a copy on my server plus it serves up all my audio books too. Or you could set up a vpn back to your network via wireguard and get the benefits of pihole when you’re not home. If you feel like really digging into things you could host your own lemmy instance, or matrix chat and bridge in other serviced but that requires a bit more advanced knowledge.

I already have wireguard setup to pass my pihole through a VPN. As for my own Lemmy instance, I’ve thought about it, but I don’t have the storage nor bandwidth for it…

If i remember correct the vm i’m running lemmy on has less than 300gigs of storage and i’ve used less than half of that with running lemmy for a couple of months with a hand full of users. I can’t speak to the bandwidth aspect but i’d imagine self hosting lemmy would almost be better suited for low bandwidth so it can pull down the posts over time and hold them locally for you when you’re ready, but thats just a guess.

My whole server has 128GB of storage… Hand me downs, it is what it is
