What is everyone else hosting? What am I missing?

    Personal preference: Jellyfin instead of plex

    Some that I run that you don’t seem to have anything for:

    • Lancache (if you have several gaming PCs on the network or host any kind of lan party)
    • surveillance camera software e.g. shinobi
    • I see grafana, but other monitoring services like icinga, librenms, etc
    • Mayan EDMS - I’ve found this really helpful as anything I get in the mail, I scan in, and this makes it all searchable and retrievable.
    • There’s a whole hole you could dig if you start getting into home automation (I use home assistant)

      I’ve been looking at something for my cameras. I got Zoneminder running but configuring its behaviour was a nightmare.

      All I want is to keep a limited rotating backup of a few cameras. Would Shinobi do that?

          Oh damn, that looks especially rad! I do run Home Assistant and pipe everything through a selfhosted MQTT server, so there are a ton of use cases I can think of for video detections being piped through MQTT for me. Ty!

    Wish I had the time/energy to host this much… Currently I’m running

    • Plex
    • Nextcloud (snap on ubuntu VM because its easy)
    • pihole
    • pivpn

    I’m also running Jellyfin and Navidrome, in an attempt to determine if they are good alternatives to Plex for like 6 months at this point. See comments above about time/energy.

      Jellyfin ftw

      I didnt use any speciall features on plex, but for me the only advantage of plex was the abbility to have all movies/tv shows in one folder. After switching to jellyfin and *arrs the folder structure is sorted so I have 0 reasons to consider plex again

    Could you share your settings file, or at least the background and icons? I love the aesthetic

    I understand none of this but I do find it cool looking and very interesting.

    I use Plex and even then it’s on a seed box.

      Is that a lot? It’s usually between 30-50%. I’ve set it up as my routers DNS server so it blocks ads across my entire network. Everything that connects to my router get pihole ad blocking

      Not that crazy. I think I’m sitting at 23.5%?

      Alexas phone home… a lot. My TV does the same. As do many random devices in my network.

      I have IoT devices that would love to phone home but I’m controlling them locally so have disallowed them connecting to the internet.

      It adds up quickly.
