Always enjoyed scrolling though these posts, figured I’d give it a go here:

What are your must-have selfhosted services?

Some of mine:

After looking at other’s lists I think I am missing a good document server. Emby isn’t the best music and photo server so I could look at improving that, but it has been good enough for those purposes that I haven’t felt like going to the trouble of installing anything else.

  • Aster: Multiseat software for Windows allows several users to work on the same PC.
  • LaunchBox: Frontend for DOSBox, modern PC games and emulated console platforms.
  • Blue Iris: Video security and webcam software
  • Calibre: E-Book management and server
  • Emby: Server for videos, music, audio books, and photos.
  • Firewalla: VPN server, internet monitor and control
  • Foundary Virtual Tabletop: Online role-playing game server.
  • Grafana: Dashboard interface
  • Hubitat: Home automation
  • Hyper-V Manager: Tool that allows users to manage Hyper-V hosts and virtual machines (VMs)
  • InfluxDB: Real-time database server.
  • IotaWatt: Open WiFi electric power monitor
  • Microsoft SQL Server: Database Server
  • Octoprint: Web interface for 3D printers.
  • PCem: Emulator for various old 8086 through Pentium PCs.
  • SmartSync Pro: File sync program
  • SnapRaid: Backup program for disk arrays.
  • Stablebit DrivePool/Scanner: Disk pooling, file duplication, protection, disk surface scanner, and disk health monitoring
  • Steam Link: Access and play steam games remotely

Highly recommend ditching emby for jellyfin!!

I bought both Plex and Emby. I started with Plex but had some technical issues related to my machine having multiple IP addresses so I switched to Emby. I tried Jellyfin before switching to Emby but it wasn’t as capable as Plex or Emby (at least at the time) and I wanted something with some commercial support behind it. I have been pretty satisfied with Emby, but do wish it would get requested features added in a much more timely manner.

Create a post

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
