Ask HN: What self-hosted apps do you use daily?
I've been running a homelab for many years now and tried out many open source projects. A small percentage turn out to be real gems, but I use these almost every single day:
Shlink: URL shortener/redirects, alternative to Bitly
Vaultwarden: open source Bitwarden server
Dokploy: PaaS, alternative to Vercel / Netlify
Umami: gdpr-compliant web analytics
Immich: photo management
Papra: document archiving with OCR
Navidrome: personal music streaming
I'm super curious to hear about the apps you can't live without!
- benoau 14d agopgweb: web ui for postgres https://github.com/sosedoff/pgweb https://github.com/sosedoff/pgweb
- osr00 14d agoMany of the apps I ended up not using was either because the projects were abandoned or because the web/app UX is just too bad or ugly. For instance I really like Photoprism but Immich has such a better app experience imo. I recently discovered Arpeggi (client for my Navidrome server) and I have such a good time using it
- MitPitt 14d agoI self-host RSS-Bridge and an RSS reader. RSS can replace checking all your subscriptions (youtube, subreddits, etc.) to just one place. I tried a lot of RSS readers but it turns out you'll only like the one you make for yourself, that's why there are so many. Sorting feeds into categories (I have channels for photography, sports, memes etc.) feels like bliss and is otherwise impossible to do. You can also quickly vibe code RSS feeds for websites that don't have them.

- recvonline 14d ago* Kavita: eBooks and Comics * Jellyfin: Movies and TV Shows * Seafile: Hosting my private files * AdGuard Home: DNS/Ad blocking for all my devices * Vaultwarden: Passwords * Immich: For my photos * Plausible: Analytics * Audiobookshelf: Audiobooks * Radarr/Sonarr/Prowlarr + Transmission * Radicale: Calendar + Contacts * HedgeDoc: For my Markdown files LLMs made it REALLY easy to setup a self hosting server and maintaining it. I literally use all of these now daily.
- KomoD 14d agoAuthelia, Immich, Jellyfin, Fusion, qBittorrent, Memos and Gitea. I think that's all of them.
- osr00 13d agoI used Authelia in the past, I'm curious: why not using Cloudflare Access?
- KomoD 13d agoI don't really want to use Cloudflare anymore, and they have some restrictions that don't really work for me, e.g. 100MB max file upload size. Authelia wasn't too difficult to set up and manage. I expose my services with a Caddy reverse proxy on a VPS, with Authelia in front, and so far it basically just works.
