Be honest: Are you doing SelfHosting just for the sake of it - or do you have apps, that really improve your daily life?
  • Both!

    I love Jelkyfin and Jellyseer, so does my family. It’s huge for us. Sonarr/Radarr/Bazarr enable the awesomeness.

    Home Assistant is the fucking bomb. I can’t even describe how good. Married up with Shelly relays our house is ridiculous, it’s so much damn fun. And takes care of a lot for us.

    Pi-Hole. Good lord. I will never live without it.

    Unifi Controller. I have 5 APs ( a couple outdoor rated ones in enclosures outside even). Love the seamless roaming and multiple network controls. Guest, IoT, etc.

    Vaultwarden. Outstanding password management tool. And no perpetual subscription? swoon

    Project Send. Use it infrequently but it’s great.

    IT Tools. Some fun little utils that are handy.

    ESPHome. Custom IR Blasters, DIY Irrigation Controller. No cloud - perfection.

    And yeah I’ve got the backend stuff. Nginx(SWAG), Whats Up Docker, SWAG Dashboard, Homepage, Authentik. But I’m into this stuff. Bachelors and Masters in comp sci. Worked with computers since I was 7 with my 300 baud - BAUD - modem. Worked in IT since I got a job doing warranty work on Packard Bells in high school for a local shop. This stuff is my jam.
