Hi guys! I was wondering:
What self hosted software are you missing? What would you which existed?
Background: I am a quite Senior Dev and have 6 months between gigs. Would be fun to start a side project to keep my skills sharp.
You must log in or # to comment.
It’s been suggested before, but I’ll echo it. We need a Portainer competitor with different goals. Fork Portainer & sail the seas. I think you’ll find a lot of hidden support here from other developers. Portainer not acknowledging backup/recovery is a major gap IMO. Proxmox has Proxmox Backup Server, where is my Portainer Backup Server? Good luck!
You can help and contribute on https://gamevau.lt, any help would be appreciated
a selfhosted version of Padlet. As a Highschoolteacher i would love this!
Hi could you make a AI that does menial tasks on those beer money websites to make me money and also does my taxes for me and can do really good stock trading? Also I told my family they could have this for Christmas so please have this ready soon thanks
Good multiuser Google photos-esque webui that can work with my existing photo collection.
A gift registry for multiple users. Would be great for Xmas
You might want to have a look at MonicaHQ.
Monicahq is a personal CRM. You can share some info publicly. Unless I missed that feature. I have yet to find an open source gift registry.
It has a completely ungoogleable name for english-speaking people, but poenskelisten is that
A good SamsungNotes-like self hosted web app with Android/ios clients and pen support would be GREAT
I have been looking for something like that as well for years
I’m using rNote, doesn’t have a web interface but works great for me
yeah me too, i really like it, but no phone/tablet support :(
Can’t you use obsidian for that ?
An extension to Nextcloud Notes would sufficate. You already have an app and a good architecture to extend.
After all of the hype about various GPT’s, I still can not find the one thing I’ve been looking for from the start:
A completely local and private LLM on M-series Mac that can ingest and learn from all of my sent mail (from Mac mail) along with any documents I manually add and answer new emails or write other documents in my voice/as me
That’s because LLMs don’t do that.
The companies that offer those services basically do some tricks behind the curtain.
Like let’s say you want an LLM to learn your corporate docs. LLMs can’t do that because they need millions of text from across the internet just to learn to speak English… You can’t feed your 1000 docs and 10,000 emails in and point to it and say “Forget the billion documents you injested and pay attention to this… but also retain the ability to speak English”
What they actually implement is a standard text search engine, that returns matching paragraphs from the relevant documents, prompts to LLM with something like "This paragraph may contain an answer to user question X. If it does, please paraphrase it.
Yes, that’s exactly what I want it to do
Most of my 60-70 email replies per day are answered in almost the exact same way
I want it to read an email and then, using paragraphs or sentences from my previous emails, automatically generate a response
There are already companies out there who are generating what they term small language models - basically hybrid models of say gpt 3.5 plus a large volume of corporate data - but they are all cloud based
Others offer plugins to help answer your emails
I’d like a combination of the same to run locally

I think you will find most of these are not small language models, but are instead the thing I said above - a llm like gpt + a search engine. Even small language models require millions of texts and only perform very specialised tasks.
A proper alternative to Quicken that truly supports importing existing Quicken data file and supports manual data entry. Nothing fancy such as downloading data from banks etc.
OBDII web ui that can interface with bluetooth or wifi elm327. I don’t need apps on my phone taking up battery tracking my whole trip. All I need is a quick update when I’m within wifi or bluetooth range to give all the important data of my choosing in one quick burst. If there is a observer page I can have home assistant scrape from it. Torque is just not ideal for my use, I am currently one of the few users of it in home assistant but will not be using it any more just because it’s kind of a pain in the butt.
Honestly, what I’m missing is I wish Keybase would release their server source code.
Zoom has ran that software into the ground and buried keybase in a pile of sh*t. It would be like 10 Christmases in one if someone reversed the client to create an open-source server solution or Zoom released the server code for keybase.
I love Keybase. Absolutely love that program. I HATE the company who owns it.
Self Hosted version of
With WebUI.
Can connect to your local, self hosted or cloud storage and manipulate files.
Yes there is a few options for automation, but they all require scripting your automation, and while that’s fine for a lot of people, for others that will always be a dead end.
I’m going to go on a rant here but:
DIGTAL SIGNAGEVLC can do a lot of digital signage tasks on its own. I built out a raspberry pi for a startup that would just plug into a TV and run whatever videos were on the device, or slideshow through pics if no vids were there.
Add a touch of rsync or similar, and you’re pretty much set for everything I can think of for digital signage.
Create a “universal” installer of sorts that can install many different OS’es and apps on them.
What I would love right now is a self hosted alternative to https://mentimeter.com or something similar that you can create quizzes and the students can interact with them just like mentimeter.
