What is everyone else hosting? What am I missing?

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 would absolutely do that if that’s all you want it to do. It’s definitely not a one-click setup either, though, unfortunately.

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!
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.
Things I have that I don’t see on the list
- Home Assistant
- Frigate
- Mosquitto
- ESPHome
- Gitea
- SyncThing
- Weavescope
- Vaultwarden
- Keyper
- Kanboard

What is this dashboard?
It’s called homepage
This is awesome, thanks! Going to install it on my Odroid HC2 running OpenMedia 6!
If you have any smart devices in your home (and even many use cases outside of that) you could run “homeassistant” to pipe all your different smart devices through a common, extensible, scriptable interface.
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
Wish I had the time/energy to host this much… Currently I’m running
- Plex
- Nextcloud (snap on ubuntu VM because its easy)
- pihole
- pivpn
I’m also running Jellyfin and Navidrome, in an attempt to determine if they are good alternatives to Plex for like 6 months at this point. See comments above about time/energy.
I’m also dual running Plex and Jellyfin. Ive had a few files I’ve downloaded that Plex won’t play but Jellyfin will. I like plexs UX a smidge better but if more issues like that pop up I’ll be a convert
Jellyfin ftw
I didnt use any speciall features on plex, but for me the only advantage of plex was the abbility to have all movies/tv shows in one folder. After switching to jellyfin and *arrs the folder structure is sorted so I have 0 reasons to consider plex again
I love Jellyfin, but they need to sort their subtitle support out.
Idk is it jellyfin or bazarr (probably bazarr), but subtitles are working fine here.
Could you share your settings file, or at least the background and icons? I love the aesthetic
Seconded, I’d love that Docker UI for my UnRaid NAS
Checkout Homepage in community apps! It’s configurable via YAML files
Awesome, thank you so much! Any chance you could share your YAML file or at least how to make them? Or does it make it fairly easy to learn how to configure it? Not at my computer atm so I can’t check myself, sorry
It’s really easy, here’s the docs
weird I have a 404 error on that link
Whoops, here’s the working one
thanks! I figured it was on my end since I was mobile using a new app! lol
Absolutely! I’m not home right now, but I can DM you my configs and background
Sure :)
Looks like Homepage (need GitHub link). The setup is pretty well documented with widget support. Background definitely would be nice though
My Setup:
DOCKER
- Plex (never had good experiences with Jellyfin unfortunately)
- Radaar
- Sonarr
- Lidarr
- Readarr
- Jackett
- Prowlarr
- qbittorrent
- MariaDB
- phpmyadmin
- BookStack
- LibreNMS
- portainer
- watchtower
- pihole (2)
- Nginx
All running in docker on two synologys. Only other things I’m running is an old CloudKey for the Unifi APs and HomeAssistant on HomeAssistant yellow (pi cm4)
What software is that?
It’s called Homepage. Not sure if I’m allowed to link to stuff here. But it’s basically a YAML based landing page for your self hosted apps
Thanks! I’ll check it out. (I don’t know the rules wel enough either.)
Shinobi seems to be pretty lightweight though. I’m running it in an orangepi zero recording 4 cameras 24/7 and streaming their feeds with no hardware issues from the orangepi. Would frigate be able to run on light hardware?
Object detection will be a challenge, especially for multiple cameras. It’ll probably be fine if you have an Intel processor with quick sync.
I’m running Blue Iris on a Windows VM. I also have codeproject.ai on an Ubuntu VM with a Quadro P2000 for object detection (it also does Plex transcoding, the object detection doesn’t stress it very much).
My previous “home server” was a raspberry pi 4 running home assistant and motioneye for 2 cameras. It was able to handle it with a reasonable amount of headroom. That being said, I couldn’t imagine an SBC being able to handle object detection on top of that.
I’ve got frigate running on a HAOS VM as an add-on. 2 cameras both running detection with only 2 cores dedicated to frigate.
Using proxmox on an old Intel 5960x, very minimal usage I’m sure you would see reasonable results on an orangepi. I guess make a backup of your SD / NVME before wiping and testing.
Been meaning to tweak detection as it’s a bit slow right now, wanting some automations built around person / presence detection utilising zone detection but it’s too slow right now.
What is this dashboard?
It’s called Homepage!
Good job, now fill the server :)
Haha trying my damnest!
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 😂
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

No, it’s only high in comparison to your experience. Others may have way more.

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.
