What is a service you host you never knew you needed?
-
I use mautrix/discord, it can work in both puppeting (sign into your account) mode and relay (bot account with webhooks) mode.
-
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?
Easily set up, and easily attached to other things. Simple notifications about whatever is needed, like service health or updates, new posts on public platforms, etc. A simple
curlis plenty to send and receive notifications, and it works on Android without requiring FCM (Google infrastructure). -
I'm hodsting my own Matrix server with WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and Messenger bridge. I have all my IMs in one app, don't have to install spyware on my phone, and I can make bots that troll annoying people that message me on any platform.
Hosting it was super simple, thanks to the Ansible project that's extremely robust and well done, I literally just got a hosting, domain amd changed like 5 config values to enable the bridges I wanted, gave it an IP and ssh key, and ran it. And if I need to update, I literally "just update" (it's all wrapped up into "just" tool), and it eve handles cases where I didn't update for a while, failing graciously and telling me what I need to do maually, usually just rename some config values.
I wholly recommend it. You probably wont convince your friends to switch from <insert app here>, and this is the best compromise.
I'm using a small instance on Hetzner, for 6$ a month. You could in theory get a free oracle cloud instance for it, but I didn't manage to get one.
You've just made me waste the next 2 days, because this sounds great! Only thing I'm a bit hesitant about is trusting all bridge makers. I'm a bit more aware that I use a lot of FOSS where it could be easy for the dev's to just go rogue. But that's still better than giving it away to some closed source company.

Bump and definitely saving this thread!

https://radicale.org is taking care of our address books, shared calendars for the family, todos and notes, all with one Backend but many different clients on different operating systems.
For low end dum-dums like me, https://sabre.io/baikal/ is a simpler, but very stable caldav solution. I bet Radicale has more features, but did I mention being low end?

Jellyseer
Even though I don't have it hooked into an arr stack it is still useful for what is upcoming.
why use jellyseer? what are the advantages of it compared to just using jellyfin.

You can't request media?

It supports bog standard Oauth2. Easy to integrate into Nextcloud for example.

They do different things.
Jellyfin plays the media, jellyseer lets me see what films and tv shows are upcoming and select it to be downloaded when I get some time.

A clone of 12ft.io but the old version before they got into beef with the New York Times and kneecapped it. It doesn’t work on every single article with a paywall but it works on the overwhelming majority (including New York Times articles)
And it doesn’t really count because I knew I’d use it but komga+komf+fmd2. I list it though because I didn’t realize I’d use this stack so much. I can now read with my phone, my laptop, my ereader, etc. tachiyomi/mihon works, reading progress is synced, and I never have to visit one of those garbage manga aggregation sites ever again

@[email protected] no. I use the app service one. It works well, but it's basically for bridging public channels. The Mautrix bridges all work very well. I've used the Facebook one in the past. It's just the limits those platforms put on the bridge (e.g. banning or locking account) that can be a problem. If your bridge is connecting from the same place as you normally connect to Discord from, you should be fine.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Thx. So far the mautirx ines have worked flawlessly for me. I got blocked once, years ago by WhatsApp when I first set it up. No issues after that, so I'm not really afraid of getting banned. And I'm not planning to use the apps or website much after I got the bridge running. That is if it offers all the features and I don't have a reason anymore to log in myself...

Thank you very much. I'm going to set it up then.

Same thing for me. I couldn’t get radical running and baikal was easy

Authentik FTW!

I've installed it as well but the blackout/redact feature didn't work as expected..So not sure if it will be that useful for me. But since I ditched Adobe, I now at least have a PDF editor.

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

Quickly send files, paste images/text snippets between devices.
I'm using the older Snapdrop (which PD was forked from) with some patches I made to:
- Work behind Authelia for SSO + 2FA
- Use the display name provided by Authelia instead of the random usernames it gives out by default
- Send transfers over the internet without dealing with the temporary "rooms" that Pairdrop uses (it's behind Authelia, so only authorized users can get to it).
It has 100% replaced emailing things to myself or shuffling files to/from Nextcloud. I probably use it to send text (URLs, clipboard contents, etc) to/from my phone as much as I use it for sending files back and forth.
