selfh.st: This Week in Self-Hosted (4 April 2025) Glad I’m following these updates because I did not know LunaSea was shut down. The three apps Ethan mentions as possible replacements are: nzb360 (Android) Astrysk (iOS) Ruddar (iOS) Github: PhiTux: DailyTxT: I may have already mentioned this last week (or did i forget to post last week…?), but I was excited to see that there is a “2.0” version of DailyTxT coming. Not that there’s anything wrong with the current version (it does exactly what it says & has worked flawlessly for me for at least a year now), but always happy to see updates to services I use =]. Home Assistant: I just moved, so i will be looking into getting Home Assistant setup when i get a chance. I used it in the past, but never got too deep into it, so now will be a fun time for me to try & get the most i can out of it. GitHub: mag37 / dockcheck: “CLI tool to automate docker image updates. Selective, notifications, autoprune, no pre-pulling. " Watchtower has typically been my go-to for image updates, but it can’t hurt to keep an eye out for any replacements. GitHub: louislam / dockge: “A fancy, easy-to-use and reactive self-hosted docker compose.yaml stack-oriented manager” I am currently using Portainer, but like DockCheck \ Portainer, always happy to find new things to play with. I believe i did look into this at one point, but don’t recall why I didn’t stick with it over Portainer. GitHub: mudler / LocalAI: “The free, Open Source alternative to OpenAI, Claude and others. Self-hosted and local-first. Drop-in replacement for OpenAI, running on consumer-grade hardware. No GPU required. Runs gguf, transformers, diffusers and many more models architectures. Features: Generate Text, Audio, Video, Images, Voice Cloning, Distributed, P2P inference” Since my experience with running LLM on a RasPi5 with AI HAT+ wasn’t going as I hoped (read: I didn’t look into the HAT enough to see that it isn’t meant for LLM), I might look into this instead. GitHub: monetr / monetr: “monetr is a budgeting application focused on planning for recurring expenses.” GitHub: jokob-sk / NetAlertX: “Network intruder and presence detector. Scans for devices connected to your network and alerts you if new and unknown devices are found.” I have\had been running this for a while, but haven’t kept on top of it. Especially with setting up a new Pi-Hole instance & local network, I probably have to get this updated as well. I will likely just wipe what I have & start clean. GitHub: iib0011 / omni-tools: “Self-hosted collection of powerful web-based tools for everyday tasks. No ads, no tracking, just fast, accessible utilities right from your browser!” Because, “why not?” (r) 😀 GitHub: [open-webui](- https://github.com/open-webui) / open-webui: “User-friendly AI Interface (Supports Ollama, OpenAI API, …)” This is what I was getting setup on my RasPi5 + AI HAT+, but probably won’t keep it running because of the performance. GitHub: ajnart / dcm: “DockerComposeMaker (DCM) is a self-hostable website to help you pick and create a docker-compose.yml file for your home server. Discover new containers, discover and share a config in a couple of clicks!” Most of the containers I’m going to run have the Docker compose files already, but still thought this was worth noting down & taking a look at. GitHub: ArnaudCrl / immich-automated-selfie-timelapse Just looked like a fun project. GitHub: kyantech / Palmr: “Palmr. is an open-source file-sharing platform focused on privacy and security. It enables users to upload, manage, and share files with features like password protection, custom links, and access control without tracking or limitations. Designed for seamless and secure sharing, Palmr. is completely free.” GitHub: SolarSistim / Quickdash: “Quickdash is a simple Angular/JSON powered self-hosted start page.” I seem to have a wandering eye for home\start pages, dashboards, etc. I’m currently running homepage. GitHub: thiago4int / resume-ai: “This project is an AI-powered resume generator designed to take unstructured profile information and job descriptions as input, then generate ATS-friendly, structured resumes using Ollama + Gemma 3B/1B.” I was curious since we were hiring recently. GitHub: HeyWillow / willow: “Open source, local, and self-hosted Amazon Echo/Google Home competitive Voice Assistant alternative” GitHub: adityachandelgit / BookLore: “BookLore is a web app for hosting, managing, and exploring books, with support for PDFs, eBooks, reading progress, metadata, and stats.” selfh.st: Optimal Plex Settings for Privacy-Conscious Users YouTube: Ditch Your VPN! Twingate: The EASY Way to Access Your Home Server TwinGate Currently using WireGuard Miscellaneous I was having some issues with a Raspbian RasPi5 that I had to correct: Error: fastfetch: error while loading shared libraries: libm.so.6: ELF load command address/offset not page-aligned: Raspberry Pi Forums: Pi5: Error loading libtinfo.so.6: ELF load command address/offset not page-aligned load addesses with: “readelf -l /path/to/libtinfo.so.6” Add “kernel=kernel8.img” to “/boot/firmware/config.txt” EFF: Meet Rayhunter: A New Open Source Tool from EFF to Detect Cellular Spying Just looked like a fun little project to do. Pi-Hole + nginx (/admin, /api): The issue i was having was fixed by editing the “location” fields in the nginx config. I needed to include locations for “/admin” & “/api”, AND have those entries before the “/” location. Once I got that fixed, my homepage & Nebula Sync containers started working. There were a few other issues that I fixed & likely caused some of my issues: Using the wrong “kind” of password from the Pi-Hole API, & needing to enable webserver.api.app_sudo permission on the “replica” Pi-Hole, so that settings could be updated from the primary. I was kicking myself for a bit because after moving & getting a new ISP, I wanted to use my out router instead of theirs. Turns out all i needed to do was contact them to put it bridge mode. It would have been a lot nicer had i been able to access an admin panel & do it myself, but at least that’s done with. I was also having some issues with DNS because the date & time were off on those boxes, so that needed to be fixed before DNS started working again. Ollama & OpenWebUI: I tried running this on my RasPi5 + AI HAT+, but as I think i mentioned earlier, the performance wasn’t great, since the AI HAT doesn’t help LLM’s. Geshan Manandhar: How to use Ollama and Open WebUI with Docker Compose [Part 4]: This was a huge help to me eventually getting Open WebUI & Ollama working, but likely won’t be using it for now. Now I just have to look for some AI HAT+ projects with the camera to actually leverage it.
