Good Morning, /r/selfhosted!

Quick update, as I've been wanting to make this announcement since April 2nd, and just have been busy with day to day stuff.

Rules Changes

First off, I wanted to announce some changes to the rules that will be implemented immediately.

Please reference the rules for actual changes made, but the gist is that we are no longer being as strict on what is allowed to be posted here.

Specifically, we're allowing topics that are not about explicitly self-hosted software, such as tools and software that help the self-hosted process.

Dashboard Posts Continue to be restricted to Wednesdays

AMA Announcement

~~The CEO~~ a representative of Pomerium (u/Pomerium_CMo, with the blessing and intended participation from their CEO, /u/PeopleCallMeBob) reached out to do an AMA for a tool they're working with. The AMA is scheduled for May 29th, 2024! So stay tuned for that. We're looking forward to seeing what they have to offer.

Quick and easy one today, as I do not have a lot more to add.

As always,

Happy (self)hosting!

Welcome to /r/selfhosted!

We thank you for taking the time to check out the subreddit here!

Self-Hosting

The concept in which you host your own applications, data, and more. Taking away the "unknown" factor in how your data is managed and stored, this provides those with the willingness to learn and the mind to do so to take control of their data without losing the functionality of services they otherwise use frequently.

Some Examples

For instance, if you use dropbox, but are not fond of having your most sensitive data stored in a data-storage container that you do not have direct control over, you may consider NextCloud

Or let's say you're used to hosting a blog out of a Blogger platform, but would rather have your own customization and flexibility of controlling your updates? Why not give WordPress a go.

The possibilities are endless and it all starts here with a server.

Subreddit Wiki

There have been varying forms of a wiki to take place. While currently, there is no officially hosted wiki, we do have a github repository. There is also at least one unofficial mirror that showcases the live version of that repo, listed on the index of the reddit-based wiki

Since You're Here...

While you're here, take a moment to get acquainted with our few but important rules

When posting, please apply an appropriate flair to your post. If an appropriate flair is not found, please let us know! If it suits the sub and doesn't fit in another category, we will get it added! Message the Mods to get that started.

If you're brand new to the sub, we highly recommend taking a moment to browse a couple of our awesome self-hosted and system admin tools lists.

Awesome Self-Hosted App List

Awesome Sys-Admin App List

Awesome Docker App List

In any case, lot's to take in, lot's to learn. Don't be disappointed if you don't catch on to any given aspect of self-hosting right away. We're available to help!

As always, happy (self)hosting!

I use to unlock password protected PDFs with Ilovepdf but I'm not comfortable uploading highly sensitive PDFs to their servers.

Are there services I could host by myself to get rid of password protection in PDFs?

Edit: Stirling can't!

I have a DIN EN ISO file here that Stirling can't unlock.

Hey everybody, I just recently started my journey self hosting by picking up a Dell OptiPlex and throwing docker on to it to run pi hole and Portainer. New to this, so before I start adding services Willy Nilly I’d like to know what some good security practices are. Things I have already made sure of: ssh via key authentication and disabled password login, pi hole and portainer only on LAN. Just curious what I should do to the services I already set up to make sure I am secure, and what I need to do once I start adding new services. Any help would be appreciated! Searching this Reddit and YouTube for clear concise answers is a bit difficult when you are new.

Hi r/selfhosted! In case you’re new, AdventureLog is a self-hostable travel tracker and trip planner, perfect for organizing your journeys, adventures, and memories.

Version v0.10.0 is a large update and introduces many of the features requested by the community in our recent survey. Here are the highlights!

Highlights:

• Chronological Map & Timeline: In collections, view adventures on a map and in a timeline that matches how you actually experienced them.
• Timezone‑Aware Visits & Timeline Logic: Easily calculate timezone differences and add precise timing to adventures to order your trip plans not only by day but by hour.
• Quick Deploy Script: One‑line installer: curl -sSL get.adventurelog.app | bash (fill in your URLs, and you’re ready to go). Automates configuration and deployment via Docker in seconds.
• Google Maps Integration (Optional): Get accurate recommendations for new adventures based on your existing locations and easily find new things to do. Also, get more accurate and detailed location searches for anywhere in the world utilizing the powerful Google Maps API.
• Immich Integration Optimization: There is now an option to load images remotely from the Immich server and link them to adventures instead of copying and saving the image again. This saves storage on the host device so long as the connection to Immich is reliable.

Full changelog: v0.10.0 Release Notes

🏖️ With June here and summer just beginning across the Northern Hemisphere (sorry, Southerners but I’ll be jealous in a month when it gets too hot), there’s no better time to plan your dream trips and capture every moment with AdventureLog v0.10.0. Huge thanks to all our contributors and everyone in the community for the support!

Hey all,

I’m planning to get a custom domain (10 years via Cloudflare) and use it for personal email only, something like: me@myfullname.com for main/personal use social@myfullname.com for logins/newsletters Maybe a wildcard or spam@ for other stuff

Still deciding between self-hosting (Mailcow, Mail-in-a-Box) vs. using services like Migadu, Proton, or iCloud+.

Curious to know: Do you use a custom domain just for personal email? Are you self-hosting or using a provider? Any issues with deliverability, spam, or maintenance? Do you think it’s worth the efforts?

Would love to hear your setups and thoughts before I jump in.

Hi everybody, I am the author of Octelium, a modern, FOSS, scalable, unified secure access platform that can operate as a zero-config remote access VPN (i.e. alternative to OpenVPN Access Server, Twingate, Tailscale, etc...), a ZTNA platform (i.e. alternative to Cloudflare Access, Teleport, Google BeyondCorp, etc...), a scalable infrastructure for secure tunnels (i.e. alternative to ngrok, Cloudflare Tunnel, etc...), but can also operate as an API gateway, an AI gateway, an infrastructure for MCP gateways and A2A architectures, a PaaS-like platform for secure as well as anonymous hosting and deployment for containerized applications, a Kubernetes gateway/ingress/load balancer and even as an infrastructure for your own homelab.

Octelium was only open sourced ~20 days ago but it has actually been in active development for quite a few years now. In the past 2 major releases since it was first introduced, a few features have been introduced, mainly:

* HTTP-based Service features such as secret-less access for AWS sigV4 authentication, JSON Schema validation, preliminary support for direct response.

* Injecting Octelium Secrets as env vars into container upstreams

* Initial implementation for Authenticators. Currently both TOTP and FIDO/Webauthn authenticators have been implemented at the Cluster-side but still not exposed in the APIs nor implemented at the client-side. Things will soon improve in the upcoming releases. I've been also playing with the idea of adding a TPM-based authenticator.

Also the installation process of single-node (aka demo) Clusters have been improved as shown in the README here. Now the installation is more lightweight and faster as it uses k3s instead of previously a full vanilla Kubernetes cluster with Cilium CNI. It can be now installed practically on any modern Linux distro, not just Ubuntu as previously was required, (with at least 2 GB of RAM and ~20 GB of storage) including your own local machine/VM inside a Windows/MacOS machine.

I'm exploring options for setting up a secure, self-hosted knowledge base for both internal team use and external customer FAQs.

Looking for suggestions that offer:

• Good category management
• Role-based access control
• Customizable design
• Search-friendly structure
• Easy setup and maintenance

Any pros/cons or lessons learned?

I played Habbo retro's back in the day and I'd love to host one for me and my friends privately. On Github I can only find servers for very old versions, v14 and v31.

Are there any clients for Habbo in the post-Flash/Shockwave world, that are just directly playable in the browser without installing anything?

I would like to share with you my pet project inspired by ArgoCD but meant for podman: orches. With ArgoCD, I very much liked that I could just commit a file into a repository, and my cluster would get a new service. However, I didn't like managing a Kubernetes cluster. I fell in love with podman unit files (quadlets), and wished that there was a git-ops tool for them. I wasn't happy with those that I found, so I decided to create one myself. Today, I feel fairly comfortable sharing it with the world.

If this sounded interesting for you, I encourage you to take a look at https://github.com/orches-team/example . It contains several popular services (jellyfin, forgejo, homarr, and more), and by just running 3 commands, you can start using orches, and deploy them to your machine.

So I just came to the realization that I might have too many services running in my homelab. I just found several services that I forgot I had running. I then started to update the documentation of my homelab (using netbox). That's when I realized I have a lot of services running that I am not even sure I still need. A lot of them I set up just to play around or test something, used it one or two times and then forgot about it.

I guess thats the destiny of a homelabber.

Hey guys,

I am running a ubuntu server with docker and i like to host different type of software.

I am looking for a project management tool where i can... manage my projects but here is the thing.

after implementing:

* plane.so (SSO tax)

* taiga.io (Outdated implementation)

* openproject.org (SSO tax)

they ALL have some sort of quirk or paywall for me to integrate my keycloak OIDC.

and frankly i am tired. if spend well over 2 days just configuring these platforms just to hit the paywall and i am out of options.

yes i know of wekan and it fully integrates with my OIDC instance but its not the most powerfull tool. If there is no real alternative ill just fall back to it but i just want to know what options are out there.

i asked ChatGPT for alternatives but because of it i landed in this whole rabbit hole to begin with just to figure out that "SSO tax" exists.

So i ask the community: what do you guys reccomend? i am looking for a powerfull project management tool that can integrate with OIDC without having to pay for it.

To give a bit of context i am running a ubuntu 24.04 server and nginx proxy manager to route everything to my server. the softwares i use to simulate a big tech company (i do this to get more experience in tech and also keep myself informed and updated) are:

• penpot for designs
• outline for wiki/documentation
• forgejo for code repositories
• keycloak for authentication
• trilium for personal note taking
• portainer to manage my containers
• draw.io for flowcharts and diagrams
• excalidraw for whiteboards/ideas
• mailserver for... mail
• flarum for the forum
• ollama for ai-tools

these are just the ones i use to "simulate" a tech company there are a slew of other ones that i just use personally. but who knows if you guys have better alternatives.

I am open to any suggestion that is not payed because the only thing i can pay with is my own sanity and time XD.

Hey everyone!

I’ve got a pretty big collection of downloaded videos — things like fitness routines, language learning courses, tutorials, and other miscellaneous stuff. I’m looking for a good way to organize them locally.

Recently I came across Stash, which actually seems really powerful in terms of tagging, grouping, and searching. The only catch is that it's mainly geared toward adult content, and while I love the features, some of the built-in stuff feels unnecessary for my use case. 😅

I already use Jellyfin for movies and TV shows, and I’d prefer to keep that library clean — don’t really want to mix in workout videos and language lessons there.

So I’m looking for something with the following:

• Strong tagging and filtering options (I want to group videos by topic, difficulty, etc.)
• Fast and easy search
• Some kind of visual library or dashboard
• Must be self-hosted — I want to keep everything local. So Plex is off the table.

Anyone know of any tools or services I should check out? Or maybe some creative setups with existing media servers that could work for this kind of collection?

Thanks in advance!

After my last post about building Screenlite, I received a lot of feedback, GitHub stars, and even had 16 people join the Discord. And that’s all for a project that’s not even in alpha yet. Thanks so much for the support so far!

I’m also working on a project website and would really appreciate your input.

• What do you expect to see on a self-hosted project website? (For example: documentation, live demo, screenshots, setup instructions, community links)
• Do you have examples of self-hosted project websites you think are especially well done? Feel free to drop links. I’d love to check them out.
• Any common mistakes or things that turn you off when visiting a project site?

I've just came across this EU initiative that fits within the scope of selfhosted.

Basically it's a petition that if reaches 1m signatures (500k to go) from EU countries then it will be debated by the EU and likely passed.

The petition is regarding video games. If you buy a game that REQUIRES online connection and it becomes unprofitable currently publishers will just stop it, making it unplayable even if you've paid for it.

This bill makes it mandatory that in such cases, the publisher has to provide the means of playability in case of cease of operations.
