Thanks, I’ll take a look!

Out of curiosity what wiki are you hosting? I have a community that we were thinking about moving our docs to a wiki to be more accessible to non tech savvy people wanting to contribute

I haven’t gotten to hosting my own wiki, but i do host an internal-only personal knowledge static site built with hugo. I have it set to build the site on my server which then serves it. Very useful to have something like that or a wiki.

Nice! I haven’t dug into the API yet. The big thing for me was actually pretty small feature but tandoor let’s me scale recipes up and down on the fly with just a click of a button. I couldn’t find that in Mealie. We do a lot of home cooking for guests and large parties so being able to quickly see the portions and scale a recipe up/down saves a lot of mental math or errors.

Edit: though looking at mealie demo again i see some recipes let you adjust the serving. But others do not.

Edit 2: seems to be related when ingredients aren’t parsed

• media: jellyfin for videos, navidrome for music
• photos: immich
• game servers: +1 to foundryvtt if you’re into tabletop rpgs. While the core software isn’t open source, most systems are, and the pf2e system in particular is the best virtual tabletop experience you’ll have on any platform.
• recipes: i settled on tandoor. Very much a fan of it.
• if you’re a data nerd then chartdb for database diagraming, and cloudbeaver for database management

I selfhost navidrome for the music streaming (+symfonium app for mobile). Multi user and multi library support.

For music tagging itself ive used beets, picard, and kid3 (kde). Currently I am liking picard the most. It took a little bit of learning but less than beets

Giscus / utteranc.es use github discussions/ issues to do comments so that might be an option

For one of my projects i setup remark42 which does allow anonymous comments. You can also set it up to allow logging in to a few different platforms. 7 months and no issues.

Isso is another one i had looked at which can do comments without an acct

Ah, my apologies!

Codeberg has been stable enough for my small usage. It does have a CI, woodpecker, that requires manual approval. I haven’t used their CI yet

Pihole can set up “groups” for different blocklists. You specify client by IP or MAC address so it doesnt matter what the dhcp server is, so long as there’s a static IP or static MAC address. My pihole server doesn’t have dhcp set up and I’m able to do this fine

Though from personal experience this just becomes a game of cat and mouse, and if you have a motivated teenager then they will find a way to circumvent this. For example android can rotate MAC addresses, and IP addresses are trivial to spoof as well.

Haven’t used all of those but my recommendation would be to just start trying them. Start small, get a feel for it and expand usage or try a different backup solution. You should be able to do automatic backups for any of them either directly or setting up your own timer/cron jobs (which is how i do it with rsync).

I submitted a response but if i may give some feedback, the second portion brings up:

I am willing to pay a substantial amount for hardware required for self-hosting.

This seemed out of place because there were no other value related questions (iirc). Such as:

• I believe self hosting saves me money in the short term
• i believe self hosting saves me money in the long run

I’m sure you could also think of more. But i think it’s pretty important because between cloud service providers and any non-free apps you want to use, it can be quite costly compared to the cost of some hardware and time it takes to set things up.

The rest of my responses don’t change but if you’re wanting to understand the impact of money in all of this, i think some more questions are needed

Best of luck!

You’re not connected to wifi or vpn from the looks of it. jellyfin is hosted on your local network. You need to be connected to that network for any device you want to access it. The most direct way is to connect via wifi. If you want access from outside your house you’ll need to look into opening a remote connection via something like cloudflare tunnel

Logseq to some extent, but it’s set up to be a journal/ meeting notes where you tag pages, add documents, etc. it would be up to how you’ve tagged things. Does have a graph view of your pages and whiteboard feature.

Personally it wasn’t exactly what i wanted out of a PKM but it is really powerful. It’s intended to handle taking notes efficiently from meetings and then somewhat self organizing the notes as long as you tag stuff.

Foundry was the 2nd thing i started self hosting (the first being pihole). Have had it running for 5 years now.

Other than that i only recently started expanding my self hosting:

• tandoor recipes
• navidrome (for music, mentioning it since it isn’t the typical media server recommendation)
• personal knowledge management (pkm) static website that i build with hugo
• umami analytics
• Remark42 for comment system on one of my internal static websites
• a few smaller things that i built. One is a discord bot from before i started hating discord, and then a few web apps that i haven’t open sourced yet

I would use cloudflare pages (or any forge ‘pages’ feature) before using tunnels for a static website
