Since selfhosted clouds seem to be the most common thing ppl host, i’m wondering what else ppl here are selfhosting. Is anyone making use of something like excalidraw in the workplace? Curious about what apps that would be useful to always access over the web that aren’t mediaservers.

Web-accessible Emacs? What are you using?
You can use the Linuxserver.io VSCodium Image and replace VSCodium with Emacs in the Dockerfile.
Huh, what?
I see in your link that that image has support for KasmVNC, which is great and you could use to make Emacs work…
But the whole point of VS Code is that it can run in a browser and not use a remote desktop solution- which is always going to be a worse experience than a locally-rendered UI.
I kinda expect someone to package Emacs with a JS terminal, or with a browser-friendly frontend, but I’m always very surprised that this does not exist. (It would be pretty cool to have a Git forge that can spawn an Emacs with my configuration on a browser to edit a repository.)
Exactly, since KasmVNC can run GUI programs in the browser and the Linux server.io base image is just Debian, it was trivial to just run it with Emacs instead. I much prefer Emacs over VS Code because of Org Mode. While VS Code works well in a browser. It isn’t what I wanted.
Here is where I have posted my Emacs Dockerfile. It might be a little out of date. Emacs Docker
EDIT: The Dockerfile also installs the fonts I like for Emacs along with git and hunspell.
EDIT: You could also probably achieve something similar with a Docker container run ning Apache Guacamole.
I don’t often need to mess with PDFs but man StirlingPDF is just fantastic on the odd occasion that I do.
Also, curious - what do you use a download manager like PyLoad for? I’ve seen stuff like this but never found a use case.
PyLoad isn’t a container I run 24/7 because the use cases are a bit limited. Basically, if I have a large list of files that I want to pass to my NAS (perhaps a list from something like DownThemAll) that won’t complete in a short sitting, I will pass that list to PyLoad so it can just run the background.
I once downloaded about 2,000 or so office files and tools like this have let me do that automatically.

Forgejo Jellyfin Navidrome PiHole AudioBookshelf Manyfold FoundryVTT sometimes
Vpn, nas, home assistant, dns, reverse proxy, adblocker, specialty controller units, misc project vms/containers.
SearXNG, Forgejo, Linkwarden, Vaultwarden, copyparty, all the Servarr apps, qBittorrent and SABnzbd for downloads, Syncthing, Mastodon, and all the various containers like databases and other tools that support the aforementioned.
Depends on what you consider self-hosted. Web applications I use over LAN include Home Assistant, NextRSS, Syncthing, cockpit-machines (VM host), and media stuff (Jellyfin, Kavita, etc). Without web UI, I also run servers for NFS, SMB, and Joplin sync. Nothing but a Wireguard VPN is public-facing; I generally only use it for SSH and file transfer but can access anything else through it.
I’ve had NextCloud running for a year or two but honestly don’t see much point and will probably uninstall it.
I’ve been planning to someday also try out Immich (photo sync), Radicale (calendar), ntfy.sh, paperless-ngx, ArchiveBox (web archive), Tube Archivist (YouTube archive), and Frigate NVR.
Immich and Radicale definitely recommended. I’ve still got paperless-ng and plan to move to paperless-ngx as soon as I find the time. I’ve also got firefly-iii which is a big revolution to how I manage personal finance. Even my 17 old son has got into it … He couldn’t understand where all his hard earnings were going.

Storyteller, ever wish you could listen to an Audio book and read an ebook at the same time.
Storyteller can combine an Audio book and and ebook to create a single ebook that can be read like a normal ebook or you can listen to it and watch the actively spoken sentences highlighted in real time like a karaoke song lyrics.
This is pretty neat!

Sounds like you need both the audio and the ebook to make it work?
I typically only have one or the other.
Yes you need to provide both an Audio book and an ebook as inputs, if you only have one of these, you could try getting the other from your local library, or you could sail the seas. It’s not a fool proof process, so sometimes you have to try different formats of Audio books to make it work, also depending on how beefy your computer is, it will take some time to process, 1-2 hrs for big books like Stormlight Archive on my laptop

Lol no? Absolutely not.
I don’t mean actively reading and listening to the audio book, think of it like English subtitles for a English movie. You can ignore them for the most part, until you hear something you didn’t quiet catch or you were not paying attention and missed something, it’s much easier to scroll back a little and read the text to catch up rather than play the part again. Happens a lot for me when listening to audio books. And rewinding the book to catch up on the part I missed is annoying, it’s better to just quickly read the last few lines instead.
Whoogle, a meta-search that strips away all the nasty things from Google. Can’t live without it tbh.
Ombi for media requests.
Joplin. I have it as a sync server. But have it tucked away in a cloud server for the times when I’m traveling so j always have a way to access data in case my phone gets stolen/confiscated.
I self-host web apps I write myself? ¯\(ツ)/¯
I’m just starting to get into this myself. I made one so my family can easily check the status of my media server and send a movie, show, or music request to sonarr, radarr, and soularr(WIP) so they don’t have to bug me when they want something and it also helps them to feel they have more agency in the process. It’s pretty useful for me as well to be able to easily download things instead on the go instead of keeping a neverending list.
What kind of apps do you write?
Set up Overseerr.
I don’t see how that’s easier or better, but feel free to change my mind. As it is now no one needs to download a separate app or have multiple logins. They just go to the URL and there’s the status and a form to type in what they want the arrs to start searching for.
It’s like the difference between using Plex and a file browser to find a movie/show to watch.
Not really? To the ADHD mind trying to keep the one piece of media you’re looking for at the top of your mind while you load an app full of suggestions for other shows and movies is a nightmare, and it’s not any more convenient because you’re still going to end up searching for the media you want. The only added convenience is when you’re not looking for anything in particular and just want to see what’s out there and there’s a million better ways to do that. Factor in having to instruct everyone to download the app and create an account rather than just go to a URL you can access from any device anywhere and put in your show/movie/song and in a few minutes you have it. Overseerr doesn’t monitor my services either, or whatever else I want to do. It’s MUCH easier to maintain and more convenient for everyone. And does Overseerr even interact with Soularr or readarr? The functionality of my webapp scales exponentially, I’m not tied to what the developers of Overseerr deem functional.

You don’t have to download an app for Overseerr to add things. It’s just a URL you can access from any device anywhere (assuming you’ve got a domain etc like you must for your web app) and put in your show/movie and in a few minutes you have it.

It does when you set it up.
No skin off my back, don’t use it for all I care - I was just pointing out that a fantastic ready made service already exists for that.
Ah, no I appreciate the back and forth. I was looking into Overseerr once upon a time, but my Plex server is running in a Windows VM and I didn’t want to mess with Windows Docker. A python script and a few HTML files seemed much easier at the time and got the desired result. I am eventually planning to migrate the server to Linux, but haven’t had the time and energy and would have to literally schedule the downtime with my family. It still doesn’t look like Overseerr integrates with Soularr or Readarr but I’ve made a note to play around a bit with it in the future.
I believe that functionality exists already if you are using Plex; via RSS sync.
I used to get the light prices on my phone widget via a public api. Some years ago they closed the api and started asking for full name and id in order to get api access. So I just made a scrapper that takes the numbers I want from their website and serves an API for the widget.
That’s the only self made app I self host, but I’m quite proud of it.
