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)
What about Jellyfin do you prefer? I remember jellyfin not having the greatest hw encoding when I tried but that may be different now.
I use Intel Quick Sync and getting that to work with Plex through Unraid was a breeze. I certainly did not have the same experience with Jellyfin at the time.
I’m a huge supporter of open source, so Plex being closed alone makes it gross to me. Very little about Plex felt selfhosted.
I also like to tinker a lot and jellyfin lets me screw around with much more under the hood - precise encoding settings, dlna customizations, I’m sure there’s more but the primary driver was ideology. I’m not giving my money to some company that’s primarily developing features I don’t want so that I can use my own media to the fullest.
I’ve had very little issue with hardware accelerated encoding, but I already had the right drivers installed and on unix OSes that’s probably the hardest part
Thanks for the response! I think I’ll give it another shot when I get home. I’ve been procrastinating some of my home assistant projects so this is perfect haha
looks amazing!!
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.
Looks super cool. How do you add the uptime on top?
It’s one of the standard Homepage widgets. You can also enable disk utilization etc
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.
Plex Jellyfin Plex_debrid Lemmy Home assistant Home bridge Minecraft Valheim Librespeed
Whoa haven’t heard of plex_debrid until now. How is the quality with the streams? Can quality be controlled like how downloads are with sonarr/radar?
What is this dashboard?
It’s called homepage
Looks breddy gucci — holy mother of pimples, 39% blocked sites on your pihole? Where is it being used, on your phone?
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.
Things I have that I don’t see on the list
- Home Assistant
- Frigate
- Mosquitto
- ESPHome
- Gitea
- SyncThing
- Weavescope
- Vaultwarden
- Keyper
- Kanboard
What do they do?
Home assistant is a home automation hub that integrates with almost everything.
Mosquitto is an MQTT message queue.
Frigate is an NVR that works with many camera systems and offers AI detection
ESPHome is a platform for programming ESP32/ESP8266 based devices for home automation
Gitea is a self hosted alternive to GitHub and includes an action runner
SyncThing is a peer to peer sync tool that allows you to sync PC to PC, mobile to PC, and mobile to mobile.
WeaveScope is a tool for detecting and monitoring containers across multiple hosts
Vaultwarden is a rust-based alternative server for BitWarden
Keyper is a container that manages SSH key authentication in a great way
Kanboard is a kanban board
Do you run homepage next to HA?
I mean homepage looks very sleek and I had a sudden urge to set it up :-) , but tbh, having HA set up for both browser/tablet and phone, I don’t think I’d ever actually look at homepage…
