Selfhosted

50711 readers

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Hi all, for my own selfhosting needs i looked into many different dashboards, but none really fit my bill.

I want a dashboard that:

  • super lightweight
  • has no server-side requirements
  • can be edited with a single text file
  • simple CSS to adapt to your style

and so, of course, i developed my own. After a few years of usage, i upgraded it to AlpineJS (previously uglier code on jQuery) and i am proudly making it public for anybody who might be interested.

Here it is: https://github.com/gardiol/dashboard/

(the project was released on github long ago, but i never wrote about it anywhere IIRC, also i might migrate to Codeberg in the future, so do not bash me for Github)

There is a quite long readme, it's GPLv3, and aboslutely zero lines of AI / Vibe coding. I used AI for research and quick support specially on how to format CSS (which i kind of despise) but nothing else.

As a bonus, there is also a CGI system made in bash (totally optional) that i use for local monitors, but it's kinda messy and really not ready for broader use, so you can ignore the "monitor" subfolder or delete it completely.

Anyway, here it is, hope someone could make use of it.

What are you using for Heating? Is it house heating or physical warm up?

This is the kind of quirky, distinctly human non-slop that I can't help but appreciate. Nice work, you lovely person you.

I'm very new to self hosting, would you wanna tell me about some of the things you have going? I only really recognize the arr suite, spotify, and jellyfin here.

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Stirlingpdf to edit pdf. Snap otter to edit images. Openwebui+ollama for local AI, lube logger for car maintenance. Mealie for kitchen recipes. Endurain to sinch Garmin data. Romm for console games. Home assistant. Jellyfin. Navidrome for music. AudioMuseAI for local AI analysis of my music, audiobook shelf for podcasts and audiobooks, searxng for web searches. Olist for WebDAV and web file access, paperlessngx for storing documents. Matrix web client elements, seerr to search movies and stuff recommendations. ExcaliDash to manage drawing and such....

Enough?

How's navidrome? We're currently using jellyfin and finamp to stream our music and it's not really meeting the needs of the house.

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 1 points 19 hours ago

Navidrome Is good. I also have jellyfin but preferred a dedicated tool for music. I use Symfonium (paid android app) on mobile and navidrome web GUI from PC.

Paired with AudioMuseAI and Spotizerr it's pretty great.

Woah, soulseek

I haven't used soulseek in literally 20 years... Is it still a relevant place to get music?

[–] mcheva@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah of course, nicotine+ is a good client. The webapp I see most people use is slskd but there are others too. Where do you get your music from? Surely you don't pay evil companies for it and not support the artist directly when you can?

[–] foggy@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Holy fucking pretentious douche, batman! Catch my block list.

[–] mcheva@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

Skin so thin your translucent. Enjoy your Spotify with ads.

Do you have several environments for the same system? How does it look like on your dashboard?

For example:

  • App 1: prod
  • App 1: test
  • App 1: dev
