Hello everyone!
I recently switched my Android phone to a custom ROM, and while setting things up, I wanted push notifications without relying on Google. That’s how I discovered UnifiedPush.
Really liking the concept, I decided to rent a small VPS (1 vCPU, 2GB RAM) and started hosting NTFY. So far, it’s been working great. Over time, I’ve added a few more services like FreshRSS and Audiobookshelf.
All of this is just for personal use, so the resource usage is minimal (the whole setup only uses around 500MB of RAM). I really enjoy how much value you can get out of such a small machine.
That brings me to my question:
What other lightweight, self-hostable tools would you recommend? I’m especially interested in small, resource-efficient services that you’ve personally found useful.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
MeTube, for when my friends send me a video on a service I don’t use (facebook, instagram, tiktok). It supports a lot of sites.
What’s the flow there? Receive link, copy, open MeTube, paste, download watch?
Tiktok and Instagram links are so frustrating when friends send them.
Yeah, that’s about it. You can watch it directly in the browser as well.
I have never thought of doing this. That’s now going on my server.
Ohh good idea! At some point they stopped sending me videos as I was not able to watch them anyway :( thanks <3
