What is a service you host you never knew you needed?
-
Recipe manager and meal planner which can pull recipes from the web. I started using it after a few recipes on sites disappeared. My families most used app (besides plex).

Do you manually mirror and keep the forks up to date? Or is there an automation for it?
wrote on 25 Jan 2025, 18:04 last edited byThere's automation and you can do it manually if needed. For example I have a couple of emulators that pull every 24 hours from GitHub just in case nint tendo gets a little lawsuit heavy. I also have one offs from GitHub that pull down when I want.
You can also mirror a public repo from GitHub into a private repo so it does not gets indexed/ai trained.

I think everybody on here is constantly keeping an eye out for what to host next. Sometimes you spinup something which chugs along nicely but sometimes you find out you've been missing out.
For me it's not very refreshing or new: Paperless-ngx. Never thought I would add all my administration to it. But it's great. I probably can't find the thing I need, but I should have a record of every mail or letter I've gotten.
Close second is Wanderer. But I would like to have a little bit more features like adding recorded routes to view speed and compare with previous walks. But that's not what it is intended for.What is that service for you?

FreshRSS, i had it installed and setup with a fee feeds for over a year and only like this month has it become my daily read, i can get almost everything in there to just read through while I drink my coffee, sites I bookmarked but never go to can now come to me.
Also with 'five filters full text rss' to get all the images in the feed
wrote on 25 Jan 2025, 18:28 last edited byLove FreshRSS. It really is something that I didn't know I needed. I often switch RSS apps, and it allows for seemless transitions.
-
discord bot for my families group chat server. I know it doesn't really mesh well with the mentality of selfhosting but it works for us.
I'm able to do silly stuff like each person getting a 'score' that gets taken down or up when they say something good/bad and people react to it

KDE Connect masterrace represent!
wrote on 25 Jan 2025, 18:52 last edited byI love KDE Connect but I can't figure out how to get it to work at work. Probably some firewall thing. It works fine at home, but can't find my phone at work.

When I was looking into matrix bridges I heard a bunch of stories about people getting their accounts blocked after using them through the bridges. Is this still an issue?
wrote on 25 Jan 2025, 18:55 last edited byOnce in a while discord signs me out and I have to do a bunch of extra sign-in steps on the official client. But otherwise I have discord, WhatsApp, Google voice, Google chat, Google messages (sms), Facebook, telegram, signal.
All the mautrix bridges are will made and robust

Paperless - Pay slips, Bank statements, MOT records, Insurance policies, User manuals, restaurant menus. All filed and searchable. Letters I get are photographed, uploaded and immediately disposed of, zero stress.

https://github.com/wasi-master/13ft/blob/main/docker-compose.yaml - this is the 12ft.io replacement i use. there are a few clones but this is the one I like, it's real barebones and uses very little overhead
https://komga.org/ - komga library
https://github.com/Snd-R/komf - komf - this isn't strictly necessary but it fetches metadata for your komga library from sites like manga updates. can be a bit of a pain to configure
https://github.com/Snd-R/komf-userscript - this is a tampermonkey script that makes komf MUCH easier to use
https://github.com/dazedcat19/FMD2 - this is an app that rips manga from most of the "free manga" indexer sites like mangadex, bato, etc. docker and kubernetes version at https://github.com/ElryGH/docker-FMD2you can read directly via komga web but frankly it kind of sucks for that. i prefer using an app. tachiyomi was the gold standard but companies threatened it and they stopped development. there are several forks now that are all good in various ways. i prefer mihon https://mihon.app/ but there are alternatives that have different feature sets

The one that was way more useful then expected is immich. I have over 100,000 photos I took during my life and it usually takes me DAYS to find a specific picture I need.
I installed immich and let it AI scan everything for a week or something. Now I can search for something specific like “it’s a black square in the middle of the photo and has a little knob on it” and it finds me the photo I need.
It’s also cool to see photos of people, organized by the individual by searching their name or clicking on their face.

wrote on 25 Jan 2025, 19:21 last edited byThanks, this looks awesome, last one I tried was tandoor but didn't really liked it, the import/export capabilities of this one make it a lot more interesting for me, to ensure I can recover the recipes or build them into markdown files if I ever want to migrate away from it.

wrote on 25 Jan 2025, 19:38 last edited byCouldn't tell you, sorry. I have Paperless in it's own LXC (helper-script) which I 3-2-1 as a machine. Many duplicates, but they're only PDFs.
I can tell you I spent a small amount of time trying (and failing) to get the files onto my NAS. I can also tell you, if I stretched up really tall I can just about scrape rock bottom when it comes to skills in this stuff.

Thanks. Do you host five filters? Do you pay for it?
wrote on 25 Jan 2025, 19:47 last edited byYeah i host five filters, fresh rss, and a mariadb container for fresh rss
I personally don't host the firefox extension I just found it recommend on reddit to get rss urls from sites that don't have a link

Yes, you have to set attributes and clients.
First documents you have to set everything yourself but it gets usefull really fast.
I just scan a letter, and look througout the day if it was correct recognized and maybe correct itwrote on 25 Jan 2025, 19:47 last edited byAnd if you don't review your new documents very often, the auto-tagging and filtering options make it easy to just go through your inbox when you get a chance, knowing you didn't miss something.

Did not realize how good it is to have digital albums with the family! And also having a backup is great as well, for a peace of mind.

You can download different models as well. For me, without a GPU, searching for example 'cat' takes a few seconds, and it is not the most accurate, but still works OK.

What was disappointing about wallabag? I have an ebook reader, and Koreader has it integrated into it, and its great.

I was thinking about looking into Paperless after seeing it gleefully mentioned so much in this post, but lack of easy/accessible backups seems strange for something you wanna use to eventually destroy your only other copy of it (the physical letter).
