So, I really really liked Soularr. I wrote some patches for it did some PR's.

But then I thought "What if Soularr but books?"

So I forked Soularr and re-wrote it to do books.

It's still early days.

I've just made a discord server.

It's definately not for beginners yet. Once I figure out getting it building containers it will be.

Anyway, if your excited about Alpha grade tools and want to check it out or lend a hand, drop on by!

Hey r/selfhosted!

After spending 8 full days digitizing my collection of ~300 CD-ROMs (mostly retro PC games) and archiving a bunch of OS install ISOs, I'm now looking for a clean, self-hosted web-based tool to organize and browse this little museum.

Here's what I'd ideally like:

• Scan one or more folders full of .iso files
• Allow me to add metadata (title, year, platform, tags, description...)
• Provide a searchable and sortable web interface, ideally with covers or thumbnails
• Bonus: integration with QEMU or VirtualBox to launch ISOs
• Dockerized would be awesome, or at least easy to deploy on a home server
• Must be self-hosted (no cloud, no proprietary stuff)

I've tried things like File Browser (a bit too basic), and media managers like Jellyfin or Plex, but they don't really play well with ISO files.

For the record: all the games were legally purchased and personally ripped from my own physical CDs. This project is about preservation and ease of access - nothing shady here.

If nothing exists, I'm not against rolling my own Flask app - but I'd love to avoid reinventing the wheel if there's already something great out there.

Has anyone here tackled a similar use case?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

actual-ai, the Actual Budget transaction categorization tool, has received an update. It can now search for payees on the internet using DuckDuckGo or the ValueSerp API and suggest a new category. Additionally, it includes a rate-limiting feature and easier configuration via feature flags.

All of this is thanks to a big contribution by kevingatera.

Hi everyone! This is my first post here. I am a teen who loves engineering and tech, so naturally I got into self hosting. My mom needed some YouTube videos transcribed, and she bought a subscription to a transcribing service. I naturally thought, "hey, I can do better than that!" So, this is the result of one week's work, and of course it is just a hobby project.

Inspired by this ui

Features

• YouTube videos
• YouTube playlists
• Local Files

Features Lacking

• Docker
• Other formats besides .txt
• Other advanced things
• GPU compute (although that is a one line change, right?)

How it is made

• Python 3.12
• faster-whisper
• Gradio (python library for ML demos)
• yt-dlp for all things YouTube
• ffmpeg for some file conversions
• mutagen for .mp3 info

Feedback

Are there things I should prioritize? Am I doing something terrible wrong or inefficiantly (I'm pretty new to python)? Is there a better name for this that would be still be clear but better than what I have?

Have been working out all the bugs with running everything in docker. Finally had some time to write everything up and organize it. Here is the git repo with the compose. It's long, so I didn't want to post it here.

Hey,

I found a cheap little mico-pc that I will turn into a dedicated backup-hub for my small home lab. The idea is that it will run proxmox and host immchi and paperless-ngx using docker to do backup of photos and documents from mostly phones and a few computers. The idea is then to run a nightly backup to my NAS and a weekly backup to my semi-cold storage (turned off and started by WOL).

But I have a few questions about how you would address it:

1 - Any other services besides immchi and paperless that I have missed?

2 - For backup software, where should I go? Used rsync up to now but think I'm missing out. Need to be able to be run on docker.

3 - Would be very nice with some notification on success or errors.

4 - A web interface for it would be a bonus, mainly due to the option to see schedules, etc in a nice overview.

Many users reported high memory/RAM usage, some 8GB+.

In my case gone from 1.5GB+ to 400MB or less on Raspberry Pi 4.

Adding MALLOC_TRIM_THRESHOLD_=100000can make a big difference.

With Docker:

Add to your docker-compose.yml and docker compose down && docker compose up -d

`... environment:

• MALLOC_TRIM_THRESHOLD_=100000 ...`

With systemd:

Edit /etc/default/jellyfin change the value of MALLOC_TRIM_THRESHOLD_ and restart the service

Disable glibc dynamic heap adjustment
=====================================

MALLOC*TRIM\_THRESHOLD*=100000

Source:

Official docker,Debian,Fedora packages already contain MALLOC_TRIM_THRESHOLD_.

Not present on some docker images like linuxserver/jellyfin

Hey self-hosters!

I’ve been building an open source, privacy-first resume builder that helps job seekers generate ATS-friendly resumes by parsing both a job description and their profile/CV. The idea is to assist with tailoring resumes to each opportunity, something job seekers often struggle to do manually.

What it does:

• Parses a job description and Profile
• Uses LLMs (Gemma 3 1B via Ollama) to generate a tailored resume via Handlebars templates

-Outputs a clean, ATS-compatible .docx using Pandoc

It’s built for local use, no external API calls — perfect for those who value privacy and want full control over their data and tools.

I’m currently:

-Setting up MLflow to test and optimize prompts and temperature settings

-Working on Docker + .env config

-Improving the documentation for easier self-hosting

Why I think this matters to the selfhosted community:

Beyond resume building, this flow (LLM + markdown templates + Pandoc) could be adapted for many types of automated document creation. Think contracts, proposals, reports: tailored, private, and automated.

I’d love feedback, ideas, and especially help with config, Dockerization, front-end, and docs to make it easier for others to spin up.

I am running around 20 containers on my Unraid server and I manually update them rather than auto-update.

I will occasionally click through to the github page or repo and see if the updates notes suggest any new features that sound good.

However this is a bit cumbersome and requires me to manually check each one and most of the time not find much.

Is there a better method to keep on top of any big new features that are added to your apps, its mainly a QoL thing just so I know if something gets added that I might want to use or do differently.

Is there some kind of self hosted app that can send any update notes through to a discord channel? that would make for an easy place to know when an update is available and also whats in it.

If you manage multiple servers, you know the pain of inconsistent tooling. I built dotbins to solve this once and for all.

The approach:

1. Download all CLI tools for multiple platforms
2. Store them in a Git repo (with optional LFS for efficiency)
3. Just clone that repo on any server

How it works:

Main workstation setup
======================

uv tool install dotbins # or `pip install dotbins`

Create your tools config
========================

cat > ~/.dotbins.yaml << EOF
tools:
 btop: aristocratos/btop # Process/system monitor
 duf: muesli/duf # Better df
 lazygit: jesseduffield/lazygit # TUI for git
 k9s: derailed/k9s # Kubernetes TUI
 yq: mikefarah/yq # Like jq but for YAML
EOF

Download everything for all platforms
=====================================

dotbins sync

Store in Git (LFS recommended for binaries)
===========================================

cd ~/.dotbins
git init && git lfs install
git lfs track "*/bin/*"
git add . && git commit -m "Add server tools"
git push to your\_repo\_url

On any server
=============

git clone your\_repo\_url ~/.dotbins
echo 'source ~/.dotbins/shell/bash.sh' >> ~/.bashrc

Now when you onboard a new VM or container, you just:

1. Clone your dotbins repo
2. Source the shell script
3. Instantly have all your tools

This has been a game changer for me - no more "Oh, I need to install X" when troubleshooting servers!

I run several containers on my server, many of which need postgres, mysql, etc, as a database. So far, I have just given them all their own instance of database. Lately I've been wondering if I should just have one separate single database server that they each can share.

I'd imagine that the pro of this somewhat reduced resources and efficiency. The cons would be that it would be a little harder to set up, and a little more complexity in networking and management, and it maybe more vulnerable that all the applications would go down if this database goes down.

I am setting up a new server and so I want to see other's take on this before I make a decision on what to do.

Home network configuration. Tailscale network. ssh and Tailscale keys. Rotation dates. Images and docker containers. github repositories and projects. Backups and directory structures for archives. Between my local wiki notes, old journal books and (meant to be temporary) scribbles in the margins of diaries I'm starting to struggle to put my hands on the info that I need to stay on top of things. How do you organise and recall all these things?

EDIT: Ok so I'm humbled to see all the different solutions the community has come up with. Kudos to you all! I'm going to keep muddling along, documenting as much as possible but more as a way of keeping key hints stored in my memory palace rather than aiming for completeness..

Beyond just version control and CI/CD, there are several things that can help improve quality and productivity.

Some of the following may not be self-hostable, but I'm mentioning them anyway for the sake of discussion and possibly finding alternatives:

• Static Analysis to detect code smells, bugs, etc. (Semgrep, SonarQube, etc.)
• Analyze code semantically (Sourcegraph)
• Be notified of vulnerabilities in dependencies and containers (Snyk)
• Translation management (Weblate)
• Error tracking (Sentry)

What all can I add from the self-hosting world that is truly free without license activation or telemetry, and not proprietary nor some crippled opencore crap?

I’m a solopreneur who currently runs a super niche digital signage app already (3 years in next month), and I’ve been in the process of a major platform rewrite for it.

However, I also build open core / commercial open source applications, and I’ve been greatly considering doing a potential rebrand and rebuild from the ground up. I LOVE open source stuff, and I think monetized open source is a good sustainability path for small solopreneurs like me.

What’s the appetite for open source digital signage? Anyone ever want to self-host DS or do you prefer a cloud-ready solution like most companies do today?

I feel like open source DS could be really awesome so that people can build their own apps/widgets and submit them as new plugins.

I don’t have any code ready yet, and still not 100% sure if I want to take this route, but if you might be interested in this here is the GitHub repository:

Edit: solopreneurship 101, I should have launched a little landing page with a newsletter/waitlist signup for those interested. Sorry about that. If you’re interested, feel free to star the git repo or email me at daniel@solopreneur.sh and I can add you to a newsletter list (only if you’re comfortable, no pressure). Happy to see several express interest.
