Since selfhosted clouds seem to be the most common thing ppl host, i’m wondering what else ppl here are selfhosting. Is anyone making use of something like excalidraw in the workplace? Curious about what apps that would be useful to always access over the web that aren’t mediaservers.

    • Immich backs up photos from my phone and camera with tagging and search
    • Archivebox is like a personal internet archive, I use it to save youtube videos and important memes
    • Homeassistant does home automation stuff, currently I only use it to turn the speakers on/off with the tv
    • Forgejo is a git host like Github, and can regularly pull external repositories to keep a personal mirror
    • Actual budget is a budgeting app, nice for tracking expenses across multiple accounts

      You made me actually check out Immich and I love the tagging feature. That makes it feel much more like a photo library and less like just a giant file storage solution that happens to store photos.

      Homeassistant is like shortcuts? You can have it do stuff if something else does something?

        Home assistant is lights, switches, sensors, blinds, fans, heat/cooling, and more. I have an automation that tells me 5 minutes after the wash is done so I can move laundry into the dryer, and another one that tells me if anyone left the back door open, telling me to close it. (My dog can open it from outside).

            I’ve got a tp-link smart plug that monitors power. The automation triggers when it draws less than a watt (a few minutes after it completes the cycle, it turns off). I have the duration set to 5m, so a slower soak cycle shouldn’t trigger it (not tested yet).
