I’d probably have to go with Audiobookshelf and Kavita. Behind those would be Invidous and Immich.
Jellyfin: An unfederated alternative to Plex, with some pros and cons. Very lightweight, customizable with plugins. Decent iOS and tvOS client from the devs.
Vaultwarden: Unofficial open-source fork of Bitwarden.
FreshRSS: Self hosted RSS + Atom reader, honestly the best way to read news ad free. I recommend using FreshRSS with lire if you’re on iOS.
I’m definitely looking into hosting PiHole down the line, and hopefully nextcloud once i get some more drives
Thank you for not just listing the names of some software. Everyone else in this thread is like “Crimble, JFlax, pIcomIco, Flerbl, and 17 Orangutans.”
I usually just ask recruiters to point those that are pokemon
17 Orangutans isn’t software, it’s just a bunch of apes I’m hosting in my basement server room. I trained one to answer level 1 trouble tickets, but manager said we need highly available maintenance processes. So, I got another container and put an orangutan inside it, and kept doing that until either we hit our KPI or we exhausted the budget.
Literally a coding monkey
lmaoooo ofc :)
Thanks
ofc! if you’re gonna get media and use jellyfin as a front end, contact me on matrix: @joshrandall@matrix.org
In terms of what services do the most:
In terms of user activity:
- Plex and the utilities installed alongside it
- Minecraft (Paper) with BlueMap
- Mealie
vaultwarden
Gitea
pihole, wireguard, qbittorrent, sonarr/radarr, Jellyfin, syncthing, NFS.
I’ve considered Airsonic but I haven’t found a good client that looks good and doesn’t behave weirdly. I had one launch about 500 threads trying to transcode the same song which ate up my CPU time on my server resulting in a stern e-mailing from my host.
In no particular order: jellyfin + *arr ecosystem, vaultwarden, wireguard, komga.
Plex, PiHole, Photoprism, Home Assistant, Syncthing in a hub and spoke config, Caddy for reverse proxy, custom containers for: yt-dlp, restic, and rsync.
Could you elaborate on syncthing hub and spoke?
Yeah I saw a post about it a long time ago on Reddit for users with lots of devices
Basically it is just setting up one or two “central devices” that know all the client devices, but not linking the client devices individually.
IE: One server is connected to your phone, laptop, tablet, desktop, etc. But the phone is not directly connected to your laptop or desktop or tablet.
To be fair I don’t actually know if this is the best approach anymore or if just connecting all of them in a mesh is better 🤷
Here is a forum post describing it.
My guess would be that each of their devices (phone, laptop, etc) syncs back to their server/NAS, but they do not sync to each other. The server/NAS is the hub, and each device is a spoke.
Pihole, Wireguard, Syncthing, Jellyfin
Paperless-ngx is better than any hosted equivalent.
Jellyfin, AdGuard Home, Nextcloud, Syncthing, Invidious, SearxNG
navidrome and jellyfin
- AdGuardHome
- Vaultwarden
- Linkding (plus Injector Extension)
- Jellyfin (plus Infuse and FinAmp)
- Owntone
- Caddy
- Pocketbase
- Uptime-Kuma
What is pocketbase?
Instant backend for web apps. Basically firebase lite
Pihole, Bitwarden and Plex.

OpenMediaVault
JellyFin
Jellyfin and that is about it.
