What is everyone else hosting? What am I missing?
Which nextcloud image do you use? I’ve been having issues with the linuxserver being kinda buggy at times (not loading file previews or not being able to close a preview without editing the URL) the app has performed pretty well but the web ui hasnt been great
Yeah I’m using the linuxserver one. It was a bit buggy for me, but I feel it’s improved with each update. Especially the new one, v27 I think? I also feel like the longer the server is online, the better it feels, so it may be a caching thing too
What sort of backend setup are you running?
I’m running unRaid on an i5-12400 with 32Gb RAM. I’m also using an NVME cache drive for uploads to Nextcloud and have unRaid scheduled to move the files over to the HDD array every night
Edit: also the linuxserver MariaDB image for DB. If you’re also running MariaDB, have you done the manual check for errors and update process? That might help?
@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
I moved from Organizr to Homepage via Heimdall.
I had no end of issues with Organizr. It felt like something broke with each update and performance was pretty bad (not to mention some apps just not working with it). Seemed to be pretty common when I last tried it a couple of years ago, there were lots of similar complaints.
The good thing about Homepage is that the widgets mean you rarely have to go in to each app’s ui, so it actually saves me time.
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
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)
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?
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.
Shinobi is absolutely not closed source: https://gitlab.com/Shinobi-Systems/Shinobi
Go with Frigate. It’s a far more mature and stable project. Shinobi is popsicle sticks around ffmpeg.
Oh damn, that looks especially rad! I do run Home Assistant and pipe everything through a selfhosted MQTT server, so there are a ton of use cases I can think of for video detections being piped through MQTT for me. Ty!
Shinobi would absolutely do that if that’s all you want it to do. It’s definitely not a one-click setup either, though, unfortunately.
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!
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.
What about Jellyfin do you prefer? I remember jellyfin not having the greatest hw encoding when I tried but that may be different now.
I use Intel Quick Sync and getting that to work with Plex through Unraid was a breeze. I certainly did not have the same experience with Jellyfin at the time.
I’m a huge supporter of open source, so Plex being closed alone makes it gross to me. Very little about Plex felt selfhosted.
I also like to tinker a lot and jellyfin lets me screw around with much more under the hood - precise encoding settings, dlna customizations, I’m sure there’s more but the primary driver was ideology. I’m not giving my money to some company that’s primarily developing features I don’t want so that I can use my own media to the fullest.
I’ve had very little issue with hardware accelerated encoding, but I already had the right drivers installed and on unix OSes that’s probably the hardest part
Thanks for the response! I think I’ll give it another shot when I get home. I’ve been procrastinating some of my home assistant projects so this is perfect haha
Looks super cool. How do you add the uptime on top?
It’s one of the standard Homepage widgets. You can also enable disk utilization etc

What do they do?
Home assistant is a home automation hub that integrates with almost everything.
Mosquitto is an MQTT message queue.
Frigate is an NVR that works with many camera systems and offers AI detection
ESPHome is a platform for programming ESP32/ESP8266 based devices for home automation
Gitea is a self hosted alternive to GitHub and includes an action runner
SyncThing is a peer to peer sync tool that allows you to sync PC to PC, mobile to PC, and mobile to mobile.
WeaveScope is a tool for detecting and monitoring containers across multiple hosts
Vaultwarden is a rust-based alternative server for BitWarden
Keyper is a container that manages SSH key authentication in a great way
Kanboard is a kanban board
Do you run homepage next to HA?
I mean homepage looks very sleek and I had a sudden urge to set it up :-) , but tbh, having HA set up for both browser/tablet and phone, I don’t think I’d ever actually look at homepage…
I do, but it’s for a semi-unique situation.
I have Homepage running for my Work VLAN, without all the personal hosted stuff, and I am even thinking of building extensions for Homepage to add buildkite and JIRA so it better suits my work dashboard needs.
Awesome thank you, definitely a few there that I could make use of!
Thanks! Will look into some of these!
How do you host it? I’m getting more and more into the idea of running my own stuff. Do you have a server set up at home, or are you renting servers somewhere?
Yes I basically just built a PC with a bunch of storage and expansion options. The original motivation behind it was Nextcloud and leaving the public cloud ecosystem. Everything else is just icing. My OS of choice is unRaid, since it offered the best flexibility in terms of storage options for me, however there are a bunch of other OS’s etc to consider, depending on your level of comfort and use case.
Not OP, but I have a Synology NAS DS918+ and run a bunch of Docker containers on there 24/7.
I understand none of this but I do find it cool looking and very interesting.
I use Plex and even then it’s on a seed box.

Is that a lot? It’s usually between 30-50%. I’ve set it up as my routers DNS server so it blocks ads across my entire network. Everything that connects to my router get pihole ad blocking
Is that a lot?
It definitely is – considering that my rpi 4 with pihole has an average of 10% to 15%.
No, it’s only high in comparison to your experience. Others may have way more.

A friend of mine has something like 64% blocked. That’s what blocking telemetry does to ya! Every piece of tech, especially Samsung phones, Google TVs and various game clients phones home with such persistence that you’d think they’re DDoSing themselves.
Not that crazy. I think I’m sitting at 23.5%?
Alexas phone home… a lot. My TV does the same. As do many random devices in my network.
I have IoT devices that would love to phone home but I’m controlling them locally so have disallowed them connecting to the internet.
It adds up quickly.
What is this dashboard?
It’s called Homepage!
How hard was it to set up homepage to show all of this? This is very cool, well done
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
Could you DM me the Homepage link? I’m not finding it among generic results. Yes, I’m a wee bit dim.
Here’s the GitHub link: https://github.com/benphelps/homepage
I was searching for a Lemmy Instance in that mix 😅
You know, I considered it. But I would rather set that up on a VPS rather than something under my desk 😂
My list:
