Hi,

I've been a selfhoster for over a decade and I just wanted to say something. I really liked Jellyfin so much that I completely scrapped Plex (and I have plex pass lifetime...)

But I feel like I was late to the party when I finally enabled the great Jellyfin plugins that there are.

I thought I didn't need them, because Jellyfin did everything I needed. But actually some are quite nice.

GO AND ENABLE SOME JELLYFIN PLUGINS Y'ALL.

If you are missing some of the "pretty" features of JF, this is what you need.

What I have enabled

• Artwork
• AudioDB
• Chapter Segments Provider
• Discogs
• Fanart
• MusicBrainz
• OMDb
• Studio Images
• TheTVDB
• TMDb
• TMDb Box Sets

Especially the 'Box Sets' plugin made a huge difference for me, but the others just add some nice extra info and artwork to the various sections of JF to make the whole experience feel... "fuller".

To start off, I love reading the discussions in the sub-reddit to start my day. Always wake up to some new way of doing things and keeps life interesting.

These days, I regularly see people boasting their servers with RAM amounts ranging from anywhere between 128GB to sometimes more than 1TB.

To be fair, I have only gotten into the home-lab sphere about a year ago. But currently I run around 50 containers small and big and I am yet to break the 32GB barrier.

I tried running ai models on my 32gb DDR5 6000 mhz ram and it was so slow it didn't seem viable to me.

So my question is, am I missing something?

https://github.com/voron69-bit/Stepifi

Stepifi repairs broken STL files (fills holes, removes duplicate faces, fixes normals) then runs FreeCAD's planar face merger to collapse coplanar triangles into single flat surfaces. Works great on mechanical parts with flat faces, but curved surfaces stay faceted since there's no way to reverse-engineer smooth geometry from triangle soup without proper feature recognition software which is either REALLY expensive, or WAY over my head programmatically. LOL

I got sick of our Alexa being terrible and wanted to explore what local options were out there, so I built my own voice assistant. The biggest barrier to going fully local ended up being the conversation agent - it requires a pretty significant investment in GPU power (think 3090 with 24GB VRAM) to pull off, but can also be achieved with an external service like Groq.

The stack:

• Home Assistant + Voice PE ($60 hardware)

• Wyoming Whisper (local STT)

• Wyoming Piper (local TTS)

• Conversation Agent - either local with Ollama or external via Groq

• SearXNG for self-hosted web search

• Custom HTTP service for tool calls

Wrote up the full setup with docker-compose configs, the HTTP service code, and HA configuration steps: https://www.adamwolff.net/blog/voice-assistant

Example repo if you just want to clone and run: https://github.com/Staceadam/voice-assistant-example

Happy to answer questions if anyone's tried something similar.

Hey everyone!

For those unfamiliar, Homebox is a fantastic self-hosted inventory management system designed for home users, think tracking all your tools, electronics, household items, warranties, etc. It's lightweight, fast, and perfect for the homelab.

I've been working on an unofficial companion app that adds AI-powered item detection to Homebox. The idea is simple: take photos of your items, and GPT vision automatically identifies and catalogs them for you: names, descriptions, quantities, tags, and more.

Quick feature highlights:

• 📸 Snap photos, AI detects and catalogs items automatically
• 🏷️ Multi-image analysis for better accuracy
• ⚙️ Customizable AI behavior (configure how fields are generated)
• 🐳 Docker deployment ready
• 📱 Mobile-friendly web interface

It's still early days, but it's been helpful for quickly cataloging large batches of items without the manual data entry grind. Thought some of you might find it useful too.

Check it out: https://github.com/Duelion/homebox-companion

Would love to hear your thoughts or feedback if anyone gives it a try!

Hey everyone,

I’m setting up Immich for my whole family and plan to expose it publicly using:

• Docker containers
• Nginx as a reverse proxy (also in Docker)
• SSL
• Only ports 80 and 443 open to the internet

On this same machine, I also run:

• OpenMediaVault (OMV)
• Pi-hole (docker)
• (Planning to add Plex soon)

I also have a second machine dedicated only to backups, running Proxmox Backup Server, which pulls backups from the first machine over the network and I'm planning to put some more stuff here.

My main concern is about the possibility of someone uploading a malicious/infected file, which would then be written to disk on the server and potentially put my home network at risk.

Am I being too paranoid about this? Is this risk realistic in a typical home server setup?Is my overall architecture reasonable and safe for home usage?

Some many questions. haaha sorry

Thanks in advance.

I built a small tool to automate my own Windows setup. Nothing fancy, just a personal script turned into a simple web generator. Then it unexpectedly took off. Thousands of people started using it; issues and feature requests poured in, and I had to learn quickly how to manage feedback, set boundaries, and manage expectations.

I wrote a short breakdown of what happens behind the scenes when a side project suddenly gets real — the excitement, the pressure, and the lessons about scope, clarity, and sustainability.

Here is the full link for the tool: https://kaic.me/win-post-install

Hi there! Some old machines lack Wake-On-Lan (WOL) or BIOS boot timers, making it difficult to reuse them as home servers. Some months ago I shared WakeMyPotato, a service that runs automatic rtcwake calls in the near future and safely powers down the laptop if AC fails. It will then turn on your server once AC is restored.

The community response was awesome, and after some suggestions I have now implemented an IP check, which will trigger the emergency shutdown if a ping to your chosen IP fails. This IP can be whatever you want, from your router's local IP to Cloudflare's IP or a friend's IP, whatever you want!

Hope you enjoy this update and please let me know if it can be improved in any way :D

Hello everyone,

Before we talk about today’s announcement, let's take a moment to appreciate what this community has built together. What started as a project to preserve webpages and articles has quietly grown into Linkwarden, a tool used by researchers, journalists, and knowledge collectors all over the world.

As we’ve grown, the Linkwarden community has helped us reach:

• 16,000+ GitHub stars
• 11M+ Docker downloads
• Thousands of self-hosted instances running in different companies, universities, agencies, and homelabs
• A thriving ecosystem of contributors, donors, and Cloud subscribers keeping the project sustainable

None of this would've happened without you. Thank you! 🚀

Today, we’re excited to launch something you’ve been asking for since the very beginning: the official Linkwarden mobile app, now available on iOS and Android.

Different screens (iPad, Pixel, and iPhone)

Here are the highlights so far:

• 🧩 Create, organize, and browse your links: A native, mobile-first experience with collections, tags, and powerful search.
• 📤 Save links directly from the share sheet: Send interesting articles from the browser or any other app straight into Linkwarden, no copy-paste required.
• 📚 Cached data for offline reading: Catch up on long reads, articles, or saved blog posts when you’re away from Wi-Fi.
• ☁️ Works with Linkwarden Cloud and self-hosted: Use the same app whether you’re on Linkwarden Cloud or your own self-hosted instance, just point it at your server and sign in.
• 📱 Built for different screen sizes: Supports iOS / iPadOS, and Android (phones and tablets).
• 🔜 And more coming soon: This first release is just the foundation, expect many improvements and new features soon.

Get the app

To use the app you’ll first need a Linkwarden account (version v2.13+ recommended).

You can choose between:

• Linkwarden Cloud – instant setup, and your subscription directly supports ongoing development.
• Self-hosted Linkwarden – free, but you’ll need to deploy and maintain a Linkwarden instance on a server.

After creating an account, download the app from your preferred store:

App Store

Google Play

How you can support Linkwarden

Linkwarden exists because of people like you. Other than using our official Cloud offering and dontations, here are the other ways to help us grow and stay sustainable:

• Leaving a review on App Store or Google Play
• Starring our repository on GitHub
• Joining us and sharing your setup on Reddit
• Joining us on Discord
• Telling a friend or colleague about Linkwarden

Thank you for being part of this community. 💫

Hey r/selfhosted,

I’ve been using Slskd (Soulseek) to find music and Beets to organize my library for a bit. Both tools are great, but the workflow between them has always been annoying for me. I’d download something, SSH into my server, find the folder, run beet import, then move it to my Navidrome library.

I wanted a "click and forget" experience, so I built Soulbeet.

It’s a self-hosted web app that acts as the glue between the two.

What it actually does:

1. Unified Search: You search for an album/track in the UI (it queries MusicBrainz for metadata).
2. Finds Sources: It asks your existing slskd instance to find the files on Soulseek.
3. Automates the rest: Once you click download, it grabs the files, and automatically runs the beets CLI in the background to tag, organize, and move the files to your library.

The Tech Stack:

• Backend/Frontend: Rust (using Dioxus Fullstack), Tailwind.
• Database: SQLite. (PostgreSQL support a few lines of code away, can add if requested)
• Integrations: Slskd API & Beets CLI.

Setup: It’s packaged as a Docker container. You basically just need to mount your music volume and tell it where Slskd is running.

services:
  soulbeet:
    image: docker.io/docccccc/soulbeet:master
    environment:
      - SLSKD_URL=http://[slskd_ip]:5030
      - SLSKD_API_KEY=your_key
    volumes:
      - /path/to/slskd/downloads:/downloads 
      - /path/to/music:/music

(Full compose file is in the repo)

Current State & TODOs:

It's stable enough for daily use (I use it), but it's definitely still a work in progress.

• Search scoring: Could be enhanced, works well though.
• No dedicated mobile app yet, but the web UI is responsive-ish. The mobile app is a few lines of code away too, thanks to dioxus.
• I need to clean the code a bit
• Improve Slskd search, it's a bit tricky.
• I'd like to add previews too, to listen to the track before downloading.
• Add versioning for the releases

Repo: https://github.com/terry90/soulbeet

Let me know if you run into any issues or have feature requests. I'm specifically looking for feedback on the default Beets configuration and your experience with the app.

Contributions are welcome of course.

Cheers!

Hey there,

I've just released v0.8.0 of my open source program HandBrake Web. For all the details, check out the release notes over at GitHub!

Intro

As I'm sure many of you are familiar with, HandBrake is a fantastic video transcoding program that has been around for ages. The two primary ways to use the program are via a desktop GUI application, or using it's CLI. Unfortunately, this means it's not super convenient to use on headless devices, like a server or a NAS. HandBrake Web hopes to solve this by providing a native, modern, and responsive web interface for you to interact with HandBrake via your favorite web browser. HandBrake Web supports additional features (compared to the desktop version of HandBrake) such as:

• Distributed Encoding - Transcode multiple videos from a single queue at once with multiple devices/nodes/workers.
• Directory Monitoring - Create directory "Watchers" to automatically create jobs based on various criteria.

For additional details about the program's features, check out the project's README over at GitHub.

v0.8.0 Release

The goal of this release was to improve the state of things under-the-hood and make it easier to maintain the program moving forward. Here's some changes I would like to feature here:

• The bundled version of HandBrakeCLI has been updated from 1.6.1 to 1.10.2, using a custom build process (rather than using binaries from a package manager).
• The entire build process of the application has been overhauled, resulting in massive image size improvements:
  • The server image has been reduced from 1.04 GB to 222 MB
  • The worker image has been reduce from 1.29 GB to 394 MB
• The entire client application has been refactored to more closely adhere to best practices, with a variety of styling and functionality improvements.
• Intel QSV support has been improved with updated drivers that allow previously unsupported Intel Arc GPUs to be used.
• Documentation actually exists with the creation of the project's Wiki.

There's a lot more to what went into this release, so check out the previously mentioned release notes if you would like to know more!

A Quick "Thanks"

It's been quite some time since the last release, over a year in fact (sorry I've been busy!). In that time some cool milestones have happened:

• The project has reached over 500 stars on GitHub
• The handbrake-web-server image has been downloaded over 200,000 times

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that has taken the time to check out my program, write a bug or feature request, and especially to anyone that has donated. With donations to the project (in addition to donations people have made to my blog), I was able to purchase a second-hand Intel Arc B770 at no cost to my personal wallet. This allowed me to actually test Intel QSV support this time around since I only had an NVIDIA card previously. So once again thanks, the self-hosting community and FOSS communities in general are incredible!

I was experimenting with a tiny concept inspired by face seek website styled systems, just to organize my personal photo library better. It made me wonder whether anyone here has tried running a lightweight face-matching or tagging workflow entirely on their own server..

I’m not looking for specific tools or recommendations just curious whether people have gone down this path and what kind of setup worked well for you. Any insights on resource requirements or common pitfalls would be great!

I am looking for a cheap vps to act as a secondary mx relay. I usually use hetzner for this but I want a different asn for redundancy. virtarix caught my eye because of the RAM/Storage ratio which is perfect for a mail archive.

My main concern is Port 25 blocking. I know a lot of these budget providers block SMTP by default to prevent spam. Do I need to jump through hoops to get it opened? has anyone checked their IP ranges against blacklists (spamhaus etc.) recently?

If you are sending mail through them, are you landing in the gmail spam folder or is the delivery clean?

Hey Everyone,

I've been a long-term user of the Kavita platform. If you're unfamiliar, it's a self-hosted e-reading platform, where you can store your epub, pdf, and image-based reading (e.g., manga, comics, etc.). It's an incredible tool to share your library with others, both locally and abroad.

Recently, Kavita released an annotations module. Giving users the ability to generate annotations, highlights, and notes. These are accompanied by quite a bit of proper metadata (e.g., book, chapter, tags, etc.).

While this is incredible, it's not the best way to review annotations for self-learning. Recently, I've started using Obsidian to organize notes, another incredible tool for self-learning.

For this reason, I've developed an Obsidian Plugin, which syncs annotations from your Kavita service to your Obsidian vault. I've gone through a few versions with Kavita members, and with the approval of the core development team, I've released version 1.0.0 of the Kavita to Obsidian plugin.

If you're a Kavita and Obsidian user, I'd love for you to try the plugin. If you happen to run into any issues, please create a GitHub issue, and I'll resolve them as quickly as possible. I've also currently applied for Obsidian Community Plugin status.

Please feel free to share your experience here or via GitHub.

Now yes, I’m fully aware this creates a single pointe of failure. As such, I still have local admin accounts on all my Linux PCs If you’re crazy enough to do something like this, make sure you have failsafes.

Ive been going kinda insane recently, and have been setting up SSO, LDAP, etc. I was already sharing me home folder over SMB from my NAS, but I was just mounting it to my PC and copying files over manually.

I don’t really like having files on my PC. They aren't accessible from outside my PC, and they aren’t backed up. So I set up autofs on my gaming PC and TV PC to mount /home/user from my NAS over NFS. I’ve configured SSSD to ensure the UIDs match on all my desktops.

I've been running this for about a month now and it’s been amazing. Any document I download or edit is automatically snapshotted and backed up. Nothing except games, the OS and caches are physically on my desktop‘s SSDs. Which naturally means more space for games. I can access all my documents on my phone over SMB when I’m out of the house, too. Also, I can have access to far more storage than I could fit in my computer. There’s no way I’m fitting 144TB of redundant storage in there.

Another unexpected benefit: I can come downstairs to the PC connected to my TV, log in with the same account, and everything is just as it was on my gaming PC (more or less). Same desktop config, same wallpapers, same software configs, etc. All my files are exactly as they were before.

This is a little dangerous, but if something gets messed up, I can just roll back to a daily snapshot. If my house burns down, well basically my entire computer is (by default) backed up to a server at my parents house.

Sure it’s a little bit slower, but not that much. I can even do photo/video editing from my NAS like this (2.5GbE). I barely notice it, especially since I keep games on the local NVME drive.
