Hi guys,

What services do you think have the best return of investment? Where is it truly worth it to selfhost?

Cheers

    Nextcloud.

    Automatic Mobile photo uploads and calendar (with apps), where you are more independent from other companies. Your data are also private.

        IMO they’re currently about as good, but they still serve slightly different purposes; Immich doesn’t fully support existing libraries because they don’t support nested albums, and PhotoPrism doesn’t have a native official app and therefore only supports sync through 3rd party apps.

        One thing that is relevant to mention is that Immich uses OpenStreetMap in a way that isn’t kosher, and while they’re receptive to changing that, it clearly isn’t a priority to them. It doesn’t reflect too positively on them that they’d essentially abuse another (far more important) FLOSS project like that, while PhotoPrism has made it a priority to avoid such issues.

        I tried it, It’s the closest to Google photos, and that helps with the wife approval.

    PBS is very bare bones, and requires a lot of manual CLI setup and config, and it can only receive ZFS Snapshots or bare files. At that point, ProxMox already has replication functions built in and then there’s rclone to send it anywhere you want not just the PBS setup.

    The big one for me will always be Navidrome (and the various *sonic forks before) because I have access to my music collection, and don’t have to pay a subscription.

    Vaultwarden I’ll give another +1, especially after fighting keeping KeePass synced across devices. Plus I have control over it.

    I’m sure throwing my torrent client helps because it’s on a box that’s always on and my computer can be turned off if we’re talking cost of electricity. Or just general wear and tear on hardware.

      where do you buy all of your music? Because if u dont, airsonic isn’t saving u money - it’s piracy.

    Seafile. I can get 1TB of cloud storage for the cost of a raspi and a 1tb disk. Can pay that off within a year easily.

    If you share purpose, then it will be easier to answer it. Do you want a self-hosted service for yourself or for the product?

      Yeah, like my car. Most of the time I’m the sole user. It gets me where I want to be.

    Everything that you host in your house with spare parts and does not let you pay for a dedicated online VPS
