What else should I self-host? (sopuli.xyz)

Today I set up my old laptop as a Debian server, hosting Immich (for photos), Nextcloud (for files), and Radicale (for calendar). It was surprisingly easy to do so after looking at the documentation and watching a couple videos online! Tomorrow I might try hosting something like Linkwarden or Karakeep.

What else should I self-host, aside from HA (I don’t have a smart home), Calibre (physical books are my jam), and Jellyfin (I don’t watch too many movies + don’t have a significant DVD/Blu-ray collection)?

I would like to keep my laptop confined to my local network since I don’t trust it to be secure enough against the internet.

edit: I forgot, I’m also hosting Tailscale so I can access my local network remotely!

I host a number of alternate frontends. Alexandrite for Lemmy, Redlib for Reddit, Invidious for Youtube. And then I have the Privacy Redirect extension make any links to Reddit or Youtube go to my local.

Is Invidious still working? After the latest round of API patches on Youtube's end, I didn't think it was.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 21 hours ago

No, it doesn't seem to be. That's ashame.

There are still active instances out there. They are a pita to maintain as you'll be playing catch me fuck me with Google ad nauseam. I gave up running my own instance and just rely on the public instances since they seem to be good at whack a mole a la Google.

Ah, that seems pretty cool :D

Invidious

How do you keep Invidious running? I've tried all the alternatives like Piped, etc. I can't keep them running for more than a week before it gets banhammered by Google.

Well, its apparently borked and I didn't realize it. I've never gotten an IP ban but I also wasn't using it a ton - mostly just for when I'd search for instructions on something an a YT vid was my only option.

I mainly use Nebula for watching videos. And the handful of creators I follow who are strictly youtube, get slurped up by ytdlp via Pinchflat
