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)

[–] chandz05@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So I do have a jellyfin instance, but for some reason it couldn't play some video formats that Plex could. I haven't looked into it in too much detail yet though. And definitely need to look into Shinobi or frigate! Thanks for the suggestions!

[–] rov3r@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Check your encoding settings! Also if you use an iOS client, I highly recommend Swiftfin, as it seemed to support direct play on some files the Jellyfin app wouldn’t play at first. I’m still new to it too, but after I got my GTX 1080Ti set up on the right encoding settings, it’s been nothing but butter with everything I throw at it.

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I've been looking at something for my cameras. I got Zoneminder running but configuring its behaviour was a nightmare.

All I want is to keep a limited rotating backup of a few cameras. Would Shinobi do that?

[–] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Shinobi or frigate are fine for that.

Frigate markets itself as "AI detection" but it isn't required.

Also frigate is open source and.ahinobi is closed source.

[–] stevestevesteve@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Shinobi is absolutely not closed source: https://gitlab.com/Shinobi-Systems/Shinobi

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.

[–] peedub 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It’s called homepage

How hard was it to set up homepage to show all of this? This is very cool, well done

[–] chandz05@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So there is a bit of a learning curve, but the Homepage docs are pretty well written. YAML is a bit of a bitch to work with though. Very similar to JSON and easy to read, but God forbid you aad some unintentional whitespace

[–] lhx@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What software is that?

[–] chandz05@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's called Homepage. Not sure if I'm allowed to link to stuff here. But it's basically a YAML based landing page for your self hosted apps

[–] lhx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks! I’ll check it out. (I don’t know the rules wel enough either.)

If you have any smart devices in your home (and even many use cases outside of that) you could run "homeassistant" to pipe all your different smart devices through a common, extensible, scriptable interface.

[–] ISometimesAdmin@the.coolest.zone 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

@chandz05 I'd totally add in Organizr to create a single page solution to access all of your various services. Beats bookmarks any day of the week

[–] chandz05@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Y'know, I've played around with Organizr a little bit and didn't quite like it. I think I had some trouble setting it up or something. I'll probably go back to try it again at some point

Plex Jellyfin Plex_debrid Lemmy Home assistant Home bridge Minecraft Valheim Librespeed

[–] chandz05@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

Shinobi seems to be pretty lightweight though. I’m running it in an orangepi zero recording 4 cameras 24/7 and streaming their feeds with no hardware issues from the orangepi. Would frigate be able to run on light hardware?

Could you share your settings file, or at least the background and icons? I love the aesthetic

[–] Aaronjamt@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seconded, I'd love that Docker UI for my UnRaid NAS

[–] chandz05@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Checkout Homepage in community apps! It's configurable via YAML files

I was searching for a Lemmy Instance in that mix 😅

[–] chandz05@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

You know, I considered it. But I would rather set that up on a VPS rather than something under my desk 😂

[–] noogs@lemmy.noogs.me 4 points 1 year ago

My list:

Home assistant
Jellyfin
Lemmy
Lidarr
Pihole
Prowlarr
Radarr
Readarr
Sonarr
Tdarr
UniFi Controller
Windows VMs for domain, and clustered file storage.
Zoneminder

[–] loggy@infosec.pub 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Looks awesome! How do you use tdarr? Does it transcode all media picked up by sonarr/radarr?

Why not just use bookmarks?

[–] chandz05@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I like the "at a glance" functionality that the various APIs provide. I can view all relevant information on a single page without having to click through different apps. I just set this as my homepage on chrome and it's like bookmarks on steroids

[–] node815@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Bookmarks are cool and all, but having the ability to tap (if on mobile) the link or click on it visually is important. For example, I access my local dashboard via Wireguard on my phone, I can then tap the service I need to access locally. IMO, that is much nicer than hitting the browser's menu to find the bookmark and then clicking on it.

Aside from that, if you are like me and have hundreds of bookmarks, and a significant other less technically savvy as you are and are visual, then having a dashboard to go to makes it a lot easier!

[–] AlphaCenturia@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Its...beautiful 🥲

[–] oldfart@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Tiny tiny rss!

[–] loggy@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How is it compared to freshness?

So Thankyou!
