Ask HN: What self-hosted apps do you use daily?

4•osr00•5h ago
I've been running a homelab for many years now and tried out many open source projects. A small percentage turn out to be real gems, but I use these almost every single day:

Shlink: URL shortener/redirects, alternative to Bitly

Vaultwarden: open source Bitwarden server

Dokploy: PaaS, alternative to Vercel / Netlify

Umami: gdpr-compliant web analytics

Immich: photo management

Papra: document archiving with OCR

Navidrome: personal music streaming

I'm super curious to hear about the apps you can't live without!

Many of the apps I ended up not using was either because the projects were abandoned or because the web/app UX is just too bad or ugly. For instance I really like Photoprism but Immich has such a better app experience imo.

I recently discovered Arpeggi (client for my Navidrome server) and I have such a good time using it

I self-host RSS-Bridge and an RSS reader.

RSS can replace checking all your subscriptions (youtube, subreddits, etc.) to just one place. I tried a lot of RSS readers but it turns out you'll only like the one you make for yourself, that's why there are so many.

Sorting feeds into categories (I have channels for photography, sports, memes etc.) feels like bliss and is otherwise impossible to do.

You can also quickly vibe code RSS feeds for websites that don't have them.

* PiHole - dns

* gamevault - like Jellyfin for games

* there is an audio app I wrote that I use daily

* ghost - blogging on my public web server

There are some others I run additionally but those listed above are the main ones

* Kavita: eBooks and Comics

* Jellyfin: Movies and TV Shows

* Seafile: Hosting my private files

* AdGuard Home: DNS/Ad blocking for all my devices

* Vaultwarden: Passwords

* Immich: For my photos

* Plausible: Analytics

LLMs made it REALLY easy to setup a self hosting server and maintaining it. I literally use all of these now daily.

Authelia, Immich, Jellyfin, Fusion, qBittorrent, Memos and Gitea. I think that's all of them.
