github.com/sfortis/frigate-viewer
This is the closest thing to an android app, but it just adds a check to see if you’re on your local network or not. Other than that, it’s just a web frontend.
The frigate documentation also has some info about installing it as an app, but either I’m doing it wrong or it’s the equivalent of a bookmark on my homescreen.
- Comment on Fun/interesting things to self host? 1 week ago:
Game servers are always fun! I set up a custom Minecraft modpack and have it set up on my domain. I also run an Arma 3 server, but it’s a hackjob of a self-host solution and I’m ashamed of how it works.
To address your examples directly:
Media server: Jellyfin, along with an *arr stack (Radarr, Sonarr, and qbittorrent and gluetun) to automate everything for you.
Photos app: Immich is your direct Google Photos replacement. Automated uploads, object detection, facial recognition, etc, all ran locally on your machine. Just remember: you still need a proper backup!
Recipe management: Mealie is the best I’ve used. It can import a recipe from almost any website. Very easy to cook with and follow along each step. It also lets you categorize meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner), rate your meals, and randomly pick meals for you.
Other things I have going:
Frigate NVR - A couple PoE and wifi cameras set up around the home record everything. Frigate records and timestamps things based on the settings - A person walks up, something loud happens, etc.
MeTube - Rip videos from almost anything. Friend sent you an Instagram video, but you don’t have Instagram? Chuck it into this and it’ll give you the video. Here’s all the websites it supports.

My preferred method is to use a half inch drill bit and a power drill.

- Comment on Buy HDD on sale now or wait for Black Friday? 4 months ago:
You can buy twice as many drives, though.
- Comment on Castle Crashers: Painter Boss Paradise DLC Launch Trailer 4 months ago:
Haha I just got my kids into castle crashers after looking through my library for 2+ player games.
Awesome that the devs are still doing stuff with it.
- Comment on Buy HDD on sale now or wait for Black Friday? 4 months ago:
Honestly I’d recommend buying refurbished drives and using them in a RAID array so that you can easily replace one for cheap(ish) if it goes bad.
before anyone says “RAID is not a backup” yeah I know but you can’t deny its capability to function as such. 3-2-1 always applies, but bulk storage is half price if buying refurbished.

Yeah it’s a shame the path Garmin is going :(
- Comment on 4 months ago:
Also: Garmin recently enshittified by simultaneously adding an AI slop component that works by taking all of your recorded fitness and location data and doing gods know what with it, as well as a paid subscription tier to their obligatory smartphone app – the latter after explicitly promising for many years that they wouldn’t. So not only is their hardware expensive (and their owners are now rightly pissed), they’re also liars. I would not give them any money until they shape up, if I were you. Assuming they ever do…
Gadgetbridge works with most Garmin models. I have the Instinct 2 Solar and have never created a Garmin account or downloader the app.

Are you doing things through docker compose? If so, feel free to PM me or reply here with your compose file and I’ll help as best I can
- Comment on Is there a good selfhosted service that can download and rehost tiktok links from a web ui? 4 months ago:
If you just want an internal webUI with video playback, I absolutely love MeTube.
It uses yt-dlp as a backend and has a lot of configuration and supports a lot of sites.
Exposing this to the outside isn’t a good idea because of the risk of DMCA or someone abusing your hard drive space

- Comment on need help to make a minecraft server 5 months ago:
Does it have to be pterodactyl? I have two servers set up with Docker and they were very easy to set up.
I use this: github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server
- Comment on How do I use Firefox and block YouTube ads? 5 months ago:
Just stock Firefox with the most up to date uBlock Origin (your version) should be sufficient. YouTube has been experimenting later with some work arounds lately, so maybe you’re one of the few unlucky ones.

Space Engineers. I set up a server for me and my friends with a few mods.
So far, we have an undefended asteroid with a ton of resources and production capabilities. It was attacked recently by a small pirate ship but I fought it off.
I’m in the process of making a large nomad ship - a mobile base.

You could assign 100 billion addresses to each bacteria on planet Earth with IPv6
Holy shit this is such an insane number
- Comment on What's a good HTPC OS and software? 6 months ago:
So far the closest thing was Plasma Bigscreen, but it’s still in development.
- Comment on What's a good HTPC OS and software? 6 months ago:
Functionally, it’s the right thing I’m looking for, but it’s not polished enough to fulfill my needs.
If this allowed folders and a GUI for settings, I think it’d be a winner.
- Comment on What's a good HTPC OS and software? 6 months ago:
Yeah another user mentioned this - definitely my #1 choice if it were fully released.
- Comment on What's a good HTPC OS and software? 6 months ago:
Wife would not approve of this because she loses her phone all the time. Also the kids don’t have phones.
I am looking for a solution that can be controlled by my remote
- Comment on What's a good HTPC OS and software? 6 months ago:
Do you use steam big picture mode?
I’d prefer not integrating Steam too much, since this is a shared computer that my kids also use.
I do like the UI of big picture mode, so if there were something similar that could be used by a remote or controller, that’d be top tier. Steam games could be added in via shortcuts

- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 7 months ago:
Correct, only the server owner needs the pass.
This has caused a lot of controversy because it was a free feature since Plex started and they’re now locking it behind a subscription.
