My Homelab for 2024 Part 4

Series - Homelab 2024

All the other services…

And all of this took us to the point where we can list all the services that are not part of the infrastructure, that are truely services… I use Homepage as my main dashboard. I configured it with traefik ingress route annotations watcher. If I remove a service, it will be automatically removed from the dashboard, same thing if I add one, it will be auto.

All the Infra and Infrastructure categories are already covered in the series, monitoring too

I think that presenting Vaultwarden is not needed, I put all my passwords in here, use it on the computer, the iPhone, the iPad and it is an amazing software. I was waiting for so long that Bitwarden finally commit account switching to the client because I was using the vault of my work with everything in one. When the commit was finally merged recently I deployed my own vault and now use it for my personnal accounts. I have no problem using the compagny one as only you can unlock your vault but you know the urge of SELFHosting everything.

I use miniflux everyday to track my RSS feeds, I also track github releases. My choice went for this one because the webui works on mobile, it has postgres support, and OpenID connect.

Miniflux Feed Page
Track GitHub release with RSS
Playing with miniflux, I discovered that you can track a project releases by using https://github.com/go-vikunja/api/releases.atom for the vikunja/api project for example.

I do all my TODO and tasks management with Vikunja that also support postgres and OpenID connect. I found the user experience nice even there is some little bugs but the dev is really reactive when you report them !

Hands Down one of the best logo on earth...

This one is on the list of my daily drivers for sure. A nice collection of tools that comes handy when your are dev or sysadmin !

IT Tools webui

Stirling PDF let you Add / Remove / Rotate / Reorganize pages in a PDF, and many more things !

Stirling PDF Webui

Private Bin gives me the possibility to send password or sensitive data to someone with the “Burn after reading” option, If the person tell me that he can not guest the pass, I know it is compromised.

Paperless NGX watch a share on my NAS and archive everything that I scan and send to that share via the office scanner. I am really bad keeping papers… Now I am bad at scanning papers but I made a step forward…

Paperless Webui

Moodist is an very simple service to deploy and act as a sort of ambient sound jukebox, you can set your own audio mood and let it run in background.

Deemix is a cool tool to download music from a Deezer account and you can play it after in Navidrome ( not on the dashboard )

Shlink is my URL shortener, I used it with private bin before noticing a major security flaw… Now I keep it but do not use it at the moment. It provides a nice GUI to manage your links and some insights.

This one is the start of something I want to try for a long time : self host as many privacy oriented alternatives as I can. I currently looking at Invidious for Youtube, Wikiless for wikipedia, … you get the idea.

Whoogle is one of them, OK it fetches results from Google but remove a ton of crap before serving them to you…

Whoogle Search

I found Pingvin Share as a self hosted alternative I use it quite often. But I also came across Sharry and I found it more robust, I will make the swap I think.

Pingvin-share Webui

Before writing this is started to document everything in WikiJS and I need to continue. Very nice UI / User experience, everything is stored in postgres so the pods are stateless and you can scale them juste by increasing the replicas count. Also support OpenID.

If I need to download a song / video / playlist from youtube I go to my own instance of Metube.

I still use filestation for now but Nextcloud is the Goal to replace it soon.

Still use downloadstation for that, I had a previous VM with Deluge and I think I will try to go with it again, worked quite well in a previous lab

All my schemas are done with my own instance of Excalidraw

And that’s a wrap for my 2024 Homelab tour !, as I already said reach me on reddit for questions…

Long Live r/homelab & r/selfhosted!!!
