- Comment on What are some self hosted services that you think are essential? 1 day ago:
For me:
- Card/CalDAV baikal : so that I can sync my calendar and address book across phone, tablet, workstation, and laptop
- Messaging prosody/synapse : private chatting with family.
- File sync Nextcloud : for access to various files. This is the only one that has worked consistently for me. Syncthing et al would constantly lose connection and the file I needed wouldn’t be there. Works fantastic for syncing Joplin notes.
- VPN wireguard : to access things remotely and securely
- Audiobooks audiobooksheld : I have a ridiculously large audio book library and enjoy listening to them when driving. This way I don’t have to preload my phone.
- Ebooks calibreweb : another large library. I have separate instances for different types: Magazines, regular books, RPG/gamebooks.
- Version control forgejo : for coding and creative writing projects.
- bookmarks shaarli : I find myself using this less and less. I use Firefox’s built-in sync, so I’m thinking about switching to separating selfhosting that instead of shaarli.
- Photos Synology : looking forward to immich getting stable. Once they get past regular breathing changes I’ll move over to that.
I have stopped using most of the services that got me into selfhosting. Things like rss and wikis. I try new things from time to time but kill them if I don’t find myself using them regularly or if the maintenance cost is more than the value add.

I have the same issue. I want something simple but has encryption, native mobile apps for both Android and iOS, and threading. Facebook style posts with comments would be great.
For now we’re using matrix and element bc I can find anything better. Unless something more compelling comes along we’ll probably migrate to something xmpp based like snikket.

Has anyone tried selfhosting ente photos? Curious how well it works.
- Comment on Portable monitor recommendations? 8 months ago:
I got this last year and it has traveled up and down the East Coast, as well to the South West. Gone by plane and car. I have used it with my Surface laptop running Windows for work, my personal Framework 13 running Fedora Linux, and my Nintendo switch.
Is it great? I don’t know, but it works.

Joplin has a plug-in that can grab todos and reveal them all in one spot. You can use tags with it as well. Although I believe it only works on desktop? I haven’t tried on phone/tablet. github.com/CalebJohn/joplin-inline-todo#readme

I’m in the same boat.
Past: My notes are all over the place. Some are in paper notebooks, on scraps of paper, index cards. Some are plain text files, some are markdown; dumped into random folders (had some in my yyyy/mm/dd folders for my journaling, some in project folders) some are on a wiki, some in redmine, some in openproject. I’ve tried different bug tracking apps, but as mentioned, they (like project management apps) are too burdensome.
Current: For now I am using Joplin for my active notes (and slowly migrating historical notes as I have energy). I have a top level notebook for my homelab, then a subnotebook broken down by subject (infrastructure, app/service, hardware), then individual pages for each specific item (host os setup, vpn, application, etc). On those individual pages, I have it sectioned out; Goal, Research notes, Actions taken, results.
- Personal Notes
- Journal
- Inbox
- Homelab
- Infrastructure
- Host OS
- VPN
- NFS
- Services
- Radicale
- Audiobookshelf
- etc
- Hardware
- node 1
- node 2
- node 3
- router
- Infrastructure
Future step: Once I have something figured out and ready for “prod”, I will be wiping it out and redoing it all through ansible. I’ll take that playbook and a clean markdown doc with the important details and put them in git. That way I can rebuild it later if there is a tragedy.
- Comment on Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times 10 months ago:
I have used Baikal for caldav for the server, with davx5 on Android. Was solid. Moved to NC for files, so went ahead with calendar sync on NC too. NC calendar sync has already worked well for me, no hiccups.
The only issue I’ve had with NC is auto upload of photos from my phone. It constantly has conflicts. Otherwise sync of regular files works great.
- Comment on Self-hosted media tracker recommendations? 10 months ago:
I use MediaTracker.
I mostly watch stuff on Netflix and Amazon prime, never thought to see if there is a way to auto update my watch history. I’m terrible about remembering to update my watch history.
- Comment on Calibre Android client (audio & video) 1 year ago:
I keep my books in AudioBookShelf and use the android app to download to my phone. But, AudioBookShelf doesn’t work on Android Auto, so I use Voice to play the books in my car. They can share storage which makes it nice.
- Comment on Selfhosted private/secure blog/journal 1 year ago:
I use Monica. The journal function is meh and a pain to use from phone. Otherwise I love it. When I meet new people through my friend group, I add them so I can remember details about them for next time we meet.
- Comment on Selfhosted private/secure blog/journal 1 year ago:
I’m trying this out. Installed both on phone and laptop last night.
- Comment on Selfhosted private/secure blog/journal 1 year ago:
I use Joplin for keeping various notes and would rather not combine it with my journal.
I’m looking for something like DayOne or billthefarmers Diary app that is easy to use from mobile, but then has a selfhosted website I can use to go back and review/relive/edit the experiences.

Does Obsidian support audio/video?
- Comment on Selfhosted private/secure blog/journal 1 year ago:
Memos looks pretty good with the MoeMemos app. Although it doesn’t look like video/audio is supported.
