I thought this article would go into more than a handful of apps. What apps do you think work well for self-hosting, even if it limited to us tech folk? I've self-hosted Grafana and InfluxDB for monitoring and metrics and found them OK to self host. The authentication and TLS setups were the most annoying. I've self hosted a few kinds of wiki software, but I eventually settled on a combination of a single Tiddlywiki file and uploading to S3. It works well for most of my own knowledge storage. I even went so far as to write my own plugin to save the Tiddlywiki file to S3, so I can press a button in Tiddlywiki to upload it. I have a self-hosted docker registry, which is just the reference repository provided by Docker. It has required almost no maintenance since I set it up. [Edit: for clarity]

+1 to influxDB (I use older Chronograf instead of Graphana) for home automation/ sensor monitoring, even on Rpi Zero hosting was very easy to start and zero maintenance from there

I got fed up installing OpenLDAP for user management, so I made LLDAP, targeting the Goldilocks zone of the article: simple to setup/manage, but powerful enough for most self-hosting needs.

  Awesome! Next time I'm looking to set up some user management stuff, I'll have to try it out. I especially appreciate the sample configurations you give for each service you are trying to integrate with.

  Can something like this be used to host phone books for IP PBX?

    Not quite yet, but I'm working on a feature that will enable that: https://github.com/nitnelave/lldap/issues/67 https://github.com/nitnelave/lldap/issues/67

  Thank you for LLDAP, I'm using it as we speak for my self-hosted stuff.

A lot of tools get mentioned and resources are available in reddits /r/homelab

  /r/selfhosted is one of my favorite subreddits

At least once per month I check out https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted to see what folks have been adding. One of my favorites from that list is Focalboard. I used to use a combination of Todoist, Trello, and Notion, but found that moving to FB helped me collapse that all into one tool. The open source and self-hosted aspects were a big bonus, of course.
