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!
Oh cool! So like an android phone running services? What did you manage to get running?
Just a nginx server. And it would show the cirrent battery. I had plans for other stuff, but the pixel 6a is a fire hazzard. And its too hot now for cells outside (almost 100 today). So it got decommisioned.
Now theres a meshtastic node connected tp the solar panels.
Reminds me a bit of the webserver on a vape: https://bogdanthegeek.github.io/blog/projects/vapeserver/
Supporting the network with a node is honorable work too :)
